Is Sea Chem Short for: Seachem AquaVitro Salinity Salt? Don't they make other salts too?

Salinity is the best i've ever used Ill never use anything else.

Yes they do, they make Seachem Reef Salt and Seachem Marine Salt

Just some food for thought...Many salt brands have instructions to mix x parts of salt to x parts of water to equal salt at a SG. if you read the labels that number is often 1.021 - which is not where most keep their salinity level, so some adjustment is necessary.
The SG of newly mixed SW is so easy to adjust, that using that number as a gauge of what salt to purchase may not be the ideal statistic you are aiming for.
Most folks judge the worthiness their salt mix by the 3 'main' parameters we measure in our reef tanks - those being Cal, Alk & Mg.
