I have been an IO fan for years. There are some that are higher in calcium, some higher in other elements. There is a great article in Advanced Aquarist that compares all the artificial salts. I can't recall all the major info, but I do know it made me feel better about choosing IO for me....

I've used Kent Marine and now Seachem Reef. IO seems to have better reviews but I have no reason to change.

Out of those three I have used IO and TM. I'd still be using TM, but IO is all that's locally convenient so I stick with that. Never had any problems with it...

High calcium content but I wouldn't use anything else.

me too...

yep. IO seems to be the standard... not that it's necessarily the best, but definitely the most widely used. Plus it's usually one of, if not the cheapest.
