I use Oceanic and like it alot. No problems yet. Personally, I think all the salts are decent. Key is to pick 1 and stay with it. JMO.

I have been using Instant Ocean for the past 3 years on my tanks.

Here is a picture of my 55g before I moved it over to my new 90g. The 55g was a year and a half old in that picture and my 90g is at almost 5 months.

Reef Crystals, Instant Ocean before.

Tank has been running just under 3 years, nano before that used IO for 5 years.

I've used both Oceanic and Kent in the past and liked both. I'm currently using Kent. I have mostly softies and a couple SPS.
