What is the best salt for SPS keeping that you use and also a pic of your tank to prove it !
I’ve been using Fritz pro RPM (blue box) for about a year now in all my tanks. It’s parameters are close to what I keep my tank at, they advertise alk 8.5 calcium 440 mag 1425. I keep my Tank at alk 9 calc 450 magnesium 1450. I mix up about 40 gallons in a 55gal tank every couple weeks. I’ve tested the parameters randomly after waiting 24 hrs mixing and consistently get parameters very close to alk 8.5-8.6 calcium 450-560 and magnesium 1450-1500. I keep SPS and LPS and both look fine and never really noticed a difference when I switched from Red Sea. It cost less, $65 shipped free for 200 gal box from saltwater aquarium.com. It mixes extremely well and dissolves fast leaving no residue.

Lmaooo omg that's soo bad!There is really no bad salt out there except Aquaforest, I used it for about a year, quality control was not there. Their customer service was bottom of the barrel.
They caked up quickly. They told me that as long as the salt did not turn blue, it is ok to use the caked up salt. I asked why the salt will turn blue when bad? They said they don’t know.
The parameters are all over the place despite they put the fake certificates inside the buckets.

Whatever works for you, there isn't really a beat salt. I use classic instant ocean because the water parameters mix closer to what I want. I know @dz6t uses the same and a lot of others as well. I don't have a pic of my tank growing anything substantial as I've been buying frags the last 6 months. Here's a link to what going on in my tank.
I've been using Instant ocean as well i just don't like the residue it leaves every time i make a batch of salt. Hate that slime. I'm thinking of switching to Fritz blue box and hope it's not the same as Instant ocean. But i've had a lot of success with IO.I’ve been using Fritz pro RPM (blue box) for about a year now in all my tanks.

Very nice chief. WOW! Those are beautiful! Some day i'll be as successful. Just need to learn to be patient.reef crystals and here some colony in my tank
Slightly off topic - there used to be someone who posted daily pics of his SPS collection, and boasted that his only maintenance was water changes with Petco pre-mixed water. What ever happen to that guy? His tank was pretty impressive.
