The Salt Mine - Aquaculture Basic Sea Salt Blend 50 lb.

Description

Aquaculture Basic Sea Salt Blend is a blend of specific component salts, balanced in precise ratios to accurately reproduce inorganic water chemistry of the open Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans prior to Industrialization, the widespread use of fossil fuels, and the gradual release of industrial effluent into the environment.Mixed to 35 ppt, the formulation yields carbonate hardness and pH values which predate Ocean Acidification values. TSM Aquaculture Basic Sea Salt Blend is not evaporite (residual salt after evaporating all water from a sample); it is a formulated blend of components that is produced entirely within a laboratory setting, in the United States.This product is available in 5-, 25-, and 50-lb sizes. 50 lbs. of Aquaculture Basic Sea Salt Blend will produce 35 ppt salinity in a total volume of 264.09 gallons. 100% of the component salts are sourced in the North America, and meet or exceed Food Chemical Codex purity standards.Values of major and minor ions when mixed to 35 ppt using water purified to remove all impurities are as follows:Chloride 25,181 ppmSulphate 2,712 ppmSodium 10,770 ppmMagnesium 1,288 ppmCalcium 413 ppmPotassium 399 ppmStrontium 8 ppmIodine 0.06 ppmIn addition to 10 primary components utilized in the formulation, IPA Sea Salt Blend makes use of 27 component salts which contribute specific minor and trace elements in proportions matching values observed in the open waters of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans.
