Since the 80's
I lost track of brands, but always just go back to Instant Ocean. Inexpensive, consistent, predictable. I (honestly) laugh at all of these crazy designer salts and expense, especially those using them that dose as well....

Its like buying $100 a bottle olive oil and frying liver in it... Utterly pointless but you feel high end for spending the money?

I have been in the hobby since the late 90s. Started out with Ocean Sea Salts because it was the cheapest my lfs had. Used that maybe a year then they stopped carrying it so switched to Instant Ocean. It's reliable, economical and a lot of public aquariums use it. That's good enough for me.
