I dont thinks its important what brand you use. I think its important to know whats in the brand you use and how your tank responds to it and water changes on a chemical level. I have used 3 brands of salt over the past 10 mos and the only difference I see is in water params after I do a water change. No big swings though. With minimal testing and dosing water params are back to where I want them regardless which brand I use. Makes me stop and think why I do water changes unless there is a problem of sorts and with good husbandry why should there be any problems?(knock on wood) Just went to 1 water change every month.

IMO this way makes the brand salt I use a little less important.

So much in this hobby is about some one making a buck. Im placing salt in this category.
