I want to set the record straight in the use of salt and the "types" of salt used in aquariums.
My husband works in the salt industry and is national sales manager for a salt co in the US.
Salt is salt is Salt! Kosher salt is the same as table salt is the same as Rock salt is the same as any other salt (just diff shapes). All the salt sold nationwide from his company goes through the same process as the Kosher salt. The Rabbi comes twice a year to check out the process - the only diff.
If you have ever bought the store brand salt at the grocery store, chances are you have purchased my husband's company's salt.
All salt is the compound NaCl. It's all the same except some has dietary iodine added and some does not...
So please do not waste $$$$ on Expensive salt.... when it is all the same.
I use my hubby's leftover salt samples in my aquarium - sometimes is table salt, sometimes rock salt, sometimes water softening pellets made of salt... it's all the same thing
