What salt does everyone use?

the only issue I had with instant ocean doesn't really reflect on the quality of the product but I would break out in a rash if I used any instant ocean salt , a bad rash . no other complaints about the salt I had used it for yrs when I worked for a service company but had to use the long corallife gloves when mixing the salt , I don't use it just for that reason
i like D& D salt but i can mix a little dirty , some time with a brown film but over all a very good salt, for fish only i would recommend Oceanic mix well pretty clean and works well in fowler and fish only systems, some of the hardcore coral guys i hear like to use the regular red sea salt , i know JW from Age Swears by it . coral life is ok takes some time to mix and isn't too bad but i rate it low.
1. My tank is always 7.6-7.2 dKH, if I don't dose, it'll drop to 6.5 range. 10% water change should bring my back up in the 8.7 range, then I'll let it drop slowly with 2 week change =D.
2. I never use warm water, always room temp. Since my tank is always around 79F, it'l bring my tank back down into the 76F =D.
3. I mix 10 gallon at a time with power head blowing, and dumping 1 cup every 10 minutes. No precipitates at all.
