QUICK question on Salt

Rocketman · Sep 18, 2003

If you don't have sea salt, is non-iodinized salt the way to go or iodinized?

Slappy*McFish · Sep 18, 2003

Either will do fine. What do you plan on using it for?

hatch brine shrimp

From what I remember, people said to use non, but I really don't know.

i read that you cant have iodized salt for brine shrimp so just incase id go with the non-iodized salt save the trouble

I think there real problem is with anti-caking agents. Make sure there are none of those in the salt.

Maybe it'll be cheaper to buy a thing of sea salt for work...

But really, it's just Sodium! What's that, Nc or something...why is life som complex?

Using just sodium as oppossed to sodium chloride could have very explosive results....

oh yes...a reaction of hydrogen that becomes heated and burns...a friend and i went buying some pure sodium on Ebay once.

Brine shrimp'll hatch in almost anything that's not pure f/w. Iodine, anti-caking agents etc. make no difference.
