Seachem reefsalt

Does anyone use this salt? If so, how do you like it?

I'm finishing up my second bucket. Using it for water changes in both my tanks. In the past I've used Instant Ocean, Reef Crystals & Oceanic. I like the Seachem the best -- consistently high levels of calc, alk and mag.
FWIW,

thanks.....i currently use IO and hate it. My params are always down. Plus it takes a long time to dissolve. Iâ€™m switching to Seachem reefsalt.

I've been using reefsalt for two months now,with very good results

I switched from N.S.W and I dont
regret it!

I have been using IO for 3 years now. My AK and PH are always down. I use kent buffer but I think I use too much. I blame it on IO. Im buying some reefsalt tomorrow.

I just switched two water changes ago (about 3 weeks )and so far so good. All my params are where they are supposed to be.

I have been using it about 6 months and like it alot. I still have Oceanic salt to use up but always seem to go for the Seachem.

Ive always used IO but tried the seachem.
My problem is the opposite of most people and my calcium is usually high so I went back to IO.
Otherwise it was fine and if you want more calcium it has more than IO.

My 75 gallon reef tank has had more stable params since switching to Seachem Reefsalt. I have used Oceanic and IO in the past and would hesitate to go back. Like the folks at home used to tell me, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!
