The Composition of Some Synthetic Seawater Mixes

Comparison Table of Primary Elements in Some Top Brand Name Sea Salt Mixes

To help you easily compare the differences between essential elements contained in some of the top brand name sea salt mixes sold on the market, we compiled this quick reference elements comparsion table based on actual test results that were conducted by the Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology reported in Marlin Atkinson and Craig Bingman's "The Composition of Some Synthetic Seawater Mixes" article published in the March 1999 issue of Aquarium Frontiers Magazine, and in reference to other Web resources.

I'm not sure about that as well, Ric? It is a bit confusing???

Again, I don't think any of these are bad. If H2O changes are done enough, everything should be happy.

HW is nearly identical to Instant Ocean except that HW has a significantly higher Phosphate level than I.O.

Wonder if they are made by the same company?

Does anyone know who makes what?

See!!! I don't think any of us knows why? All are good or they wouldn't be on the market as long as they have. Everyone has a fav...

Here is a great link for salt comparisons:Salt Mix Comparison

Never heard of it? I believe most salts are mfg'd by just a few companies. I'm willing to bet that since they all say, "No phosphates no nitrates"...that any of the majors is fine. I've used many and now stick with "Coralife". Why? I don't know?....works great, not too expensive.

What I'd like to know is, "What do most of the Worlds aquariums, e.g.: Seaworld, Moody Gardens, whatever, use? That would be interesting!

Price, Model, Pics?

Bump....I'll entertain B.O. if anyone has one??? I need to move it as it's in the way.

PM Sent.

Andrew,

Could you give us a synopsis on what Vodka Dosing is and how it works? How much to you put in the tank?

Shaken or Stirred??? J/K.

Seriously, it sounds interesting but some guidelines might let us know if you find it worth it? You have some cool/wild stuff you try like encapsulating Brine Shrimp in Bleach!!!!

I have a HUGE Xenia on a piece of LR. If it appears that it is going to start to attach to another rock, gently pull it away and turn the rock a bit or adjust the water flow. I love the look of them. I removed about 20 Xenia today from my tank that were offshoots and put them in my Fuge/Sump. I'll sell them for $5/each to anyone that wants one. I do the same with Devil's Hand Finger Leathers.

I have Xenia, GSP, Devils Hand Leather, Orange Plating Montipora for sale. $5/each piece. Most about the size of an egg. I have a lot of it to move.

Unfortunately, I won't be at the meeting because of work.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and suggestions. Please feel free to post then on Gina's YouTube and her Facebook page so that she see your comments. That would really lift her up!

Laura, you should come over and play her set sometime!

How about $50 and it's yours!

SOLD.

Sorry to hear that you are selling everything. Hope all is well?

BTW, who makes a 135 gallon rimless cube? Is it glass or plexiglass?

That's the next thing we are working on is to have an "audition" or demonstration video done on her kit. I'd like to get her on the Ellen Show or something like that. She already plays in two bands at Celebration Church here in Gtown. Sometimes in front of 2000 people per service as she did during Easter.

Feel free to send your friends to her YouTube video to comment as well.

I'm really trying to promote my daughter, Gina. She is one of the most talented drummers you will ever hear...and, only 9 years old...and, self taught! I have a YouTube of her but we are trying to get her some attention as well. If anyone is interested she has a fan page.

I have a 44" round "Rust Color and Cream" Marble table, pedestal style for sale. It originally came from the Four Seasons Hotel. I have two of them and want to part with one. It is beautiful. It is in need of a nice buffing but that is all. Seats a comfortable 4 or a cozy 5 people.

I'm asking $500....It was originally $1500 ten years ago. I just saw some of similar type while out of town and they were $2500-$4000!

How about a trade for cash? Cash is still good, isn't it?

I have a 55 Gallon tank that I would love to get rid of. I'd be willing to trade it for some ACRO's?

Not to steal anyone's thunder, but I also have a few of these if anyone is interested. They are from shipments from Dr's Foster and Smith, Live Aquaria.

Make your life easy and call John at Kingfish. He did a great design on mine and is fairly unique as far as I know. The quality of work is first rate.

Pics attached in my Blog.

It would be really cool to see if some of the stores would "Sponsor" a meeting and allow us to do a giveaway at the meetings. Even a gift card could be cool!

I'd like to put it out there to see if River City, Aquatek, Kingfish and others might be interested?

You either use, "Plastic Tank Dividers" (Pet's Mart or any pet store) or go to Hobby Lobby (cheap!) And buy 8 1/4" x 11" nylon knitting sheets. It's actually called "Clear Plastic Canvas". Same thing, less expensive $2.99 for 2 sheets! I have both.
