Thanks

there is no "best" it is all personal opinion but i think it is best to use a mix like 3 differant brands in one oceanic redsee and reef crystels.

ReefSalt I use.
I tryed all the main ones,
You need to see how it works with the water in your area how it holds the PH.
I would buy a small bag of each and see how it works.
