Re: [GSAS-Member] Phil's shrimp (Aquarium Salt)

[Steev Ward <steevward@yahoo.com>]

Just remember that what is sold as Aquarium Salt is usually just rock salt 
(Sodium 
Chloride).Marine Salt (like Instant Ocean, etc.) is used for making sea water 
and
contains a particular formula of elements in ADDITION to Sodium and Chloride. 
These
minerals are mostly: 

                 Sulfate (SO4)
                 Magnesium (Mg)
                 Calcium (Ca)
                 Potassium (K)
                 Bicarbonate (HCO3)
                 Bromide (Br)
                 Borate (BO3)
                 Strontium (Sr)
                 Fluoride (F)
                 plus others we call Trace Elements
