Those results turned me away from IO and I have been looking for a new salt mix when I use up the last bit I have left.
I have tested a bunch of different salts. Red Sea Coral Pro, Tropic Marin Pro Reef, HW Marine Reefer, Seachem Reef Salt, Instant Ocean Reef Crystals, Instant Ocean Regular, and Coralife.

Of the PREMIUM SALTS the best is HW Marine Reefer $77 for 160gal at BRS with Alk 8.9dKh, Cal 420, and Mg 1280

Of the LOWER PRICED SALTS Coralife $45 for 200gal Drs Foster & Smith with Alk 9.12dKH, Cal 500+, and Mg 1350
