After watching @Ryan - Serious Reefs's reviews on the different brands and types of additives, I'm curious about the distribution of the brands/types of additives people use. Feel free to lmk if I missed any.

Bonus if you have switched from one brand/type to a different one please explain the reason and result.
 
I clicked all for reef but I also dose kalkwasser and occasionally a 2 part bicarbonate to adjust alkalinity
 
I changed the multiple choice to unlimited for folks who dose multiple btw
 
In the UK, we have a company called Reef Zlements. I've used Red Sea and Triton, but for me, Reef Zlements really works and is great value
 
ESV & also
