I am currently using Tropic Marin Bio Atif salt mix, I overall like it but it is getting to be expensive for my system with 3/4 of a 200g bucket going to 1 waterchange!

I am loving The ESV Salt System. It is pricey, especially since the deal at Premium Aquatics is no longer. Despite the price I am super happy with the parameters. It mixes up crystal clear and I can mix exact batch amopunts for whatever my needs are and have it ready for the tank in an hour if my water is temp ready. I may never go back to the other salts :D.

RC mixes with good parameters and is very price competitive. I'd love to try Tunze salt, but you can't really get a hold of buckets. :/
