I use Instant Ocean the purple box which is the most widely used salt .Its mixes NP and when used in conjunction with a reactor or dosing is all you need. and its about $50 for a 200 gallon mix. I also do weekly water changes at about 10 percent per week. Zero problems for me!

+1 as well for ESV. With that said don't get to caught up with the whole salt debate. I do find that I have absolutely no residual crud left in my mixing vats with the Esv brand. All the ones listed will do the job well.

I have used esv, reef crystals, tropic marine pro, regular IO, coralife.

I am currently using regular instant ocean and my tank is more successful than it has ever been in the past. IMO it is because salt mix had nothing to do with it. Only the man in the mirror.

These are your top contenders ESV,Salinity, H2O,Tropic Marine, Red Sea, but best value for buck Instant Ocean, Coralife. Reef Crystal. All are good. I'm thinking of going back to IO. Using Salinity but don't think is worth the extra money.
