I recently noticed that there was a company doing professional chemistry lab analysis of saltwater, aquariumwatertesting.com, and thought it would be interesting to test different saltwater mixes as there is a lot of ongoing debate on the issue...
I did a quick search and a found a thread in the
chemistry forum where Carlo (cayars) suggested the same thing.
Who would be interested in chipping in to have some tests done? IF enough were interested, it could be very inexpensive, yet yield useful data for the entire site...
The growing lists of salt mixes to test are:
1. Instant Ocean
2. Reef Crystals
3. Marine Enterprises Crystal Sea Marinemix
4. Marine Enterprises Crystal Sea Bioassay Laboratory Formula
5. Oceanic
6. Red Sea Coral Pro
7. Tropic Marin Sea Salt
8. Tropic Marin PRO-REEF
9. SeaChem Marine Salt
10. SeaChem Reef Salt
11. Kent Sea Salt
12. Marine Environment dual phase formula
13. Coralife Scientific Grade Marine Salt
14. OceanPure PRO
We could start with some of the more popular salts and go from there...
