I do not keep any corals (gave up long ago) and am FOWLR. Are there any advantages at all to using Reef Crystals? They are about the same price and I am due for a box of salt.
 
There are no advantages to using Reef Crystals with a fish only tank. You are paying extra for the higher levels of Mg, ALK, Ca, etc. I would just buy the regular IO, like you did.
 
Aside from higher calcium in Reef Crystals, I don’t see a clear advantage to it compared to normal IO in any tank. I preferred normal IO for my reef since I did not want added organics.
