Beardie Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Just wondering if anyone has evey used pool salt (salt for saltwater swimming pools) in the process of hatching brine shrimp eggs? I ran out of marine salt and just thought maybe i could use this stuff. Also has anyone used it in their tanks?i check the 25kg bag however it doesnt state exactely whats in it.

BLACKBAR Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 anyone seen the ph raisers for pools i was at my friwnds house and in his garage their is all this pool and spa stuff dont know which one it was for but he had a huge container of ph up for his pool i think the price tag was still on it and it was only a few bucks wondering if anyones knows about it and if its ok for fish tanksall i thought when i saw it was he puts it in his pool to bring out his colours better and to try induce females to spawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko99 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 ROFLOL Blackbar! Your posts crack me up - how's the hangover?!? I have that stuff for my spa, too - don't know if it's any good for tanks - certainly cheaper - hopefully someone chemically-minded can tell us...Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeW Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Darryl and I agree on this - not a common occurence.Pool salt is great.In any tank that doesnt have soft water fish in I routinely use salt (1tsp/10L). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
