Best salt for a nano?

[NanosAreCool]

I was wondering what salt all of you nano keepers were using in your tanks, and if there was any specific reason for its use over other brands. I used to use Oceanic salt because in my SPS dominated tank I liked its high Calcium content, but now that I am keeping corals that require amounts of calcium that would likely be present in any salt mix I am considering switching salts. Does anyone have luck with any specific brands of salt in softy dominated tanks, perhaps one with a high Iodine/iodide content? I have no complaints about Oceanic brand salt, and really enjoy how quickly it dissolves so perhaps i'll continue using it. I'm mostly just wondering about what else is out there.

I too, use Oceanic, no problems, lots of coralline growth, no phosphates (that I can find)..very happy with it

Have you seen the article that compares different salts and their compounds?

I stand by reef crystals. Never had phosphate problems. Dissolves quickly also.
