Default Salt
I know this is in about every forum so why not here.

What kind of salt does everyone use?

I use Red Sea Coral Pro.

Default Re: Salt
Oceanic or Instant Ocean. Whichever is on sale. I dose with Kalk through my auto topoff, and add magnesium about once a month. I check my calcium, alk, and mag levels monthly, and adjust accordingly.

If I were to only use salt and no additional supplementing, I would probably use Reef Crystals, or Seachem Reef Salt.

I'm using Reef Crystals at the moment, got a good deal on quite a few buckets of it.
Also would like to throw in there that I use RO/DI water of course, 6 stage - 2 prefilters, 2 carbon blocks, membrane, and the DI stage, producing 0 TDS.

DD H2Ocean. It is pretty close to where I keep my parameters and I do not have to dose before I introduce clean water.
