What kind of salt does everyone?

I just switched over to fritz pro about a month ago, and so far my tanks are loving it. Was using reef crystal but was always battling algae.
Does it turn whatever you mix it in brown? I use a brute trash can and heard fritz would turn it brown.
 
Red Sea regular. Tried RSCP and IORC, was using RC the longest but last batch or two the params were all over the place. In the past I've been pretty lucky with RC.

I like the numbers Red Sea regular gives me and I'm sticking with it: mixes clean and fast.

As tested last time:
Alk: 8.6
Ca: 425
Mg: 1120 (low)

I'm thinking there's a little stratification of the salt, but the Mg is easily bumped up anyway. I'm happy that I don't have to tweak the Alk and Ca (much)
 
started with Red Sea coral pro and switched to reef crystals.
 
@wes_slavens I have yet to notice any brown from the fritz, but with the Reef Crystal it definitely stained everything brown which I figured was the by product of the elevated MG in Reef Crystal.
 
Tried IO, RC, Fluval, RSCP, RS blue bucket. Use a 7:1 ratio of blue bucket to RSCP now.
 
I am using the Regular Red Sea. I like the lower Alk and Calcium it provides and makes my supplementation of both more predictable.
 
Curious as to who is actively deciding their salt as to who is using what their LFS carries. In my case it's both.
