Odd question. Can Reef salt be used in place of sea salt.

Can it? My reasoning is isn't sea salt just dried salt water? Doesn't that make our salt good as if not better then store brand "sea salt"?

Still alive D:

 

Jkjk. Decided was prob bad idea.

 

lol reef salt has all sorts of extra chemical crap in it to keep it from caking together and minerals probably in much larger quantities than sea salt, ect. Def not the same thing. Just try mixing up a batch of salt water for your tank with sea salt.... no srs don't do that either.... no deaths today pls.

Haha. Agreed. I didn't even think of it until i saw sea salt at store. I was just wondering, our fish tolerate it. Why cant we?

Well I mean.. they don't sprinkle died reef salt on their egg omelets in the morn! i think if you make up a batch in the tub and take a dip, you will be fine. Can't say I haven't had tank water in my mouth :mellow: ... damn siphon hose...

 

but that is diluted in gallons of water and I don't think the fish are swallowing glasses full :lol:

 

Plus ykno.. those mysterious fish deaths... who knows the cause... :huh: they always finding new things that cause cancer or health issues just in our own food products.

No dumb questions- its dumb not asking questions. No one learns that way.

 

 

I wouldn't advise ingesting reef salts because of the additives in it. There are binding agents in the salt amongst other chemicals.

 

Its not advised to drink sea water- actually its very dangerous to our health and thats natural salt water.

I've thought about this quite a few times. Whenever I get the salt on my hands it just feels nasty so I wouldn't want to eat it anyways, but good to no it's a bad idea lol

Sorry sorry that true... I was thinking about how salt burns your hand if it contacts it and then trying to eat it ?
