Salt Question.

[rvijay07]

What kind of salt is best for preparing salt water ? Can regular table salt from the grocery store be used ? If not why ?

Thanks.

No. Table salt has iodine added. iodine in incorrect quantities is deadly. Sea salt has many more minerals and trace elements than simply salt and water. I use a salt mix Instant Ocean. There are many brands of salt mix that you should be able to find at your local aquarium store.

The sea salt mix comes in bags of different sizes.
