SeaChem Reef Salt or Coralife Salt.

Going to make a switch after getting a bad batch of IO. I can't decide between the two. Looking for good stable numbers so I wont have to dose between water changes.

Let me know what you guys would use between the two

I just switched from reef crystals to Seachem reef salt for the same reason ( inconsistent #s ). Just did my first WC yesterday with the seachem And posted #s here http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/general-reef-aquarium-discussion/89269-seachem-salt.html. Stock seems fine but Im sure it will take a few WC to tell, also bought the 200gal. box so wont know for a bit if #s are consistent from box to box.

Personally, I don't think the choice of salt makes that much difference. People have great reefs with almost any brand. Over the years I have come across a few brands that don't mix to proper levels so I'd avoid them. If I was in an LFS and had to choose blind I'd likely pick the SeaChem salt, but only if I couldn't find my usual brand.

Well, Coralife salt is the worst salt ever made. I use an empty bucket for bad stuff that way I don't have to label it. After I poured out over half the bucket. There's a reason it's really cheap, because it is. It's bad salt, just in case I wasn't clear.
