Pretty much all I've ever used.
Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?

Have ordered a full pallet of both before! Pretty sure it was the only thing available at my LFS back in the 90’s.
Tried many others with success. I’m always open to a good deal on IO or RC. I’ve liked tropic Marin salts the best over the years, but it comes with a premium price. The Seachem Reefsalt really made my coral colors pop back in the day(not sure it’s still available). I have a bucket of reef crystals from a few years back, definitely happy to cure my rock and start my new AIO build with it!

I started off io/rc 50/50 on my first salty set up 7 years ago. Rc on water changes. I'm currently using coralife salt. Thinking of switching back to the old method. Just because I don't need the dechlorinator. In the coralife salt with my water.

Hahah yep, came in here pretty much to post this. IO was the only game in town (at least my town) at the time.

Was cleaning out a drawer the other day and found these.
All the pumps and towels are long gone.

Didn’t Instant Ocean, when it was first introduced have a little Vial of the trace elements, or was that some other salt? This would have been in the late 60’s. Back then I had a source of filtered Sea Water. Today I exclusively use Reef Crystals.
