i think it will depend on what you are going to keep in system. i use reef crystals in mixed reef, but have to add 2 part daily to keep cal & alk up to levels my tank needs & consumes

I would just use Instant Ocean. I have a 120 gallon Reef and top off with Kalk , around 2 gallons a day. I have SPS and LPS corals.My Calcium and Alk stay around 420 and 11.0.

I love Coralife. It's the cheapest and has the most calcium and magnesium.
Not my tank. But Reefbum uses coralife and his tank looks amazing. http://mail.reefcentral.com/forums/s....php?t=1674294 http://mail.reefcentral.com/forums/s...4&postcount=39
