My Tank Thread
Depends on what you mean by best. Frankly, we do not know what most companies actually put into them.
I designed the DIY recipe sold by BRS and some other places, and for an inexpensive mix it serves many people perfectly well.
If I were to elect a commercial system, I'd pick ESV as I trust them to understand what is important in such a mix.

Kalk and dr Randy holmes-farley's improved diy two part.
kalk can just be mrs. wages pickling lime from the grocery store.
The diy uses Epsom salts, baking soda from grocery stores. calcium chloride available from local concrete redimix sites. Plus magnesium chloride which is harder to find. I found mine at a local industrial chemical supplier. 10 years worth of materials costs ~$50 or so. you can use the unused portions at local frag swaps.

good choice.
easy corals are the ones that don't require dosing.:wink:
Other can obviously provide better advice. IME I had problems with the sps type corals.
But that's just my .02
