In 12+ years 99% instant ocean with a bucket of oceanic and a few reef crystals the exceptions. Amazon prime is fantastic. Can usually get the boxes at 39.99 shipped

I use reefers best salt but its on the pricey sides and is only really worth it if wanting to run a hardcore SPS tank. I've found that RBS has the best and most stable potassium content of any salt I've used. Although because it doesn't have any anti-caking agents you have to shake the bag of salt when you first get. This is because some of the elements can settle in shipping. Although I've seen a lot of people lately using Hw Marinemix with good results.

Dear OP, any salt will work, and you need to find out which one will serve your needs.
I've been using Salinity for years as I do large 35% weekly water changes & from batch to batch the parems match perfectly.

Only caveat is precip on barrels, price, and you must buy from a lfs (which is a good thing).
