I use Oceanic Sea Salt mix. I tried Instant Ocean, but it just seemed like the stuff never dissolved!

What salt do you like the best?
 
i used to buy oceanic but then i started buying my saltwater from the lfs cheaper and easier
 
i use io and don't really have a dissovle problem
 
i use instant ocean
 
I use Instant Ocean as well. So do most of the aquariums I know of (Georgia Aquarium, Dallas World Aquarium, Predator World - in Branson, MN Zoo, etc...)
 
I use Oceanic salt in my Brackish tank....LOVE IT!!

Initiall I stared off with Instant Ocean, then I made the switch to Reef Crystals because of the 'better' mix they claimed; but after reading all the info on Reefkeeping.com for their salt tests, I switched back to Instant Ocean.
After doing waterchanges on my reef with Reef Crystals, I always noticed immediate coral closings/deflating... but I have never witnessed anything but positive with simple ol' Instant Ocean. Also for simple brackish tanks, I would stick with the Instant Ocean.
Anyone else have issues with Reef Crystals?
 
i also use IO for my brackish and reefs. i just mix a bunch in a bucket and leave it with 2 powerheads in it for like 10 min to make sure it is all mixed.
