Has anyone successfully tried DIY salt?

This tank build gave me an idea...just curious if anyone else has tried the DIY reef salt recipe? Did you do this with corals or just a FOWLR?

Just curious about it...:eek2:

Some people have used DIY salt. It's hard to save much money. It takes a lot of bulk buying to get the cost down towards reasonable. I think the most reasonable approach has been a mix of a regular salt product and some DIY.

That link doesn't work for me.
However, I've been using my DIY salt mix for many years.
I'm one who uses it mixed with half/half with I.O. for all my tanks.
Originally I only used 25% DIY for my reef tanks but lately I've been mixing it half/half for the reef tanks also.
