I've been pondering what kind of salt to use and came across these interesting links.
I thought I'd share them in case anybody else wants to read up on salt ;)

Just the basics (alk, calcium, etc.) for the most common salt mixes:

This one is the one that got me interested in Tropic Marin Salt:

Not that I necessarily want to breed urchins but I figure if it's good enough for urchins it's good enough for me. :)

Inland Reef Aquaria Salt Study (shows heavy metals, etc.):

Feel free to add! :wink_smile:

Helpful post but you should also start a thread for a poll so everyone can chime in - I'll be there's only about 3 different choices that are used here apart from a couple of people.

Very helpful. Good thinking. not many actually look into such topic. Some just trust word of mouth. :thumbs_up:
