Have been using Marine Environment Dual Phrase sea salt. I find that this is a very good salt. It comes with a "Little Bottle" of sea elements to be mixed together with the salt. My corals have been doing very well ever since i used this salt. Its available at most LFS at $14.90 for a 2kg package and $39.90 for a 6.8kg package.

The Northcoastmarines website is a 'sponsored' review, it's way too bias. Without presenting any proper laboratory analysis, they simply claimed that a certain brand of marine salt is the best....

I prefer articles in Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine and Reefkeeping Magazine.

AquaMedic Reef Salt for me. Mixes to very respectable values at 1.025. I think its one of the best in the market currently. Highly recommended by the reefers in Germany and KZ.

CA: 420
Mg: 1250
Kh: 8-9

Of course, no nitrate and phospates.
