However, evidence indicates using select grades of key ingredients that were derived from NSW and specially refined offer definite advantages for reproducing, rearing and keeping delicate specific larva. There are three brands of marine salts contain all or some of these select grade ingredients. These salts are CORAL MARINE Scientific Formula™, BIO-SEA® Marinemix and MARINE ENVIRONMENT®. Q: How many of the 15 brands of marine salts tested and described in the S-15™ Report were high in P04/ phosphate or P/phosphorus? A: One brand tested higher than all others and contained 2x more P04 than found in NSW. CORAL MARINE (1) BIO-SEA® & MARINE ENVIRONMENT® tested at <0.003ppm. vs. 0.07ppm in NSW. That is considered zero phosphate. BROMIDE and IODIDE Q: How much bromide is in natural seawater and how important is it for keeping exotic marine fish and de
