Can anyone tell me what the difference is? I'm trying to determine which will be better and I know it depends on the application.
I've got some API Aquarium Salt which is made of, I quote
I've also got a big bag of Marineland Instant Ocean marine salt which I use for my brackish biotope.
Here's where I'm at. I have a 5.5 gallon tank with 1 dalmatian molly, 1 wagtail platty and 1 rainbow guppy and also 5 ghost shrimp. From what I can tell all these critters benefit from a bit of salt in the aquarium, especially so the shrimp which need a bit of iodine for healthy moulting.
Which type of salt should I use? Are 2 tbsp too much for 5.5 gallons?

Doesn't that mean it's very close, if not the same, to marine salt?All natural salt, made from evaporated sea water
