Was needing to buy some salt here soon.. Was browsing the net and came across this brand.. Does anyone use? Do you prefer it over Reef crystals?

The kent reef salt is great, i've been a coralife user for the past 10 years until 2 months ago. It dissolves super fast, the cal and alk is just where i want it.

Never used the kent salt but for me, ANYTHING is better than Reef Craptals.

I currently use ESV salt and really like it. I also like D&D H2Ocean.

The Kent salt has pretty high calcium, but whether you consider that a plus or minus may be based on your other husbandry methods. It also seems to have somewhat low magnesium.
