I did a comparison, because the salt that I used didnt give me the best results as advertised.
I am using RedSea coral pro salt...

here is a reply i got
any Q's please ask

For starters I would like you to us the following info as this needs to come out.

Salt is Salt it is a mineral. If you take a brand of reef salt for comparison to another brand of Reef salt you will find that they will mix up to strength of within 5% of each other. The 5% is best understood as the difference in moisture content in each brand.
You will find some brands stating that a bucket of lets say 20kg will make 600 liter of Sea water. What they don’t specify is the final specific gravity of the mix at a certain temperature. You will find that if you mix up any a good reef salt with less than 5% moisture content you will get roughly 220 – 230 liters full strength sea water which is at 1.024 to 1,026sg at 25 deg c.

This is fact !!!!
Aquafin reef Salt is a natural sea salt sourced from a deposit that is millions of years old. Therefore it is totally unpolluted by modern day fossil fuels and the like.

Hi Guys

I have been using AquaFin salt for a while now and my tank is looking good, all the fish are healthy. And Corals are looking good.
I had 2 tanks but when I used to mixed salt for the smaller tank I would take 1.1 kg of salt to 25 litres of water and 1.025 every time
You would pay just under R300 for a 10kg bucket

I use it as well it is great
