Eating Reef Salt

[Max Hill]

I'm in the process of taking down a tank because I'm moving. I have about 2 bags of salt left over unopened that I plan to try and sell however 1 bag is open and mostly empty. Can I use this salt to cook with? Is it better to use it for cures or can i use it as a table salt?

The answer is NO.

I'd consider calling the manufacturer

Depends on the brand. I like the cheap stuff like IO, personally, since it's just dried ocean salt on the dirt. Watch out for the Turkish blend tho... lol Heard that stuff kills tanks, so...

never use something for a use that's not intended by the manufacturer. This is how people / fish get hurt. Oh salt from the LFS cost too much so I'll just buy a 10 pound bag of salt from the market down the street. Same thing right????

When I was really really young we went to this beach that had little tiny long fish. We caught a few with a net.

I brought them home in a bag of ocean water and realized they were saltwater fish and wouldn’t survive in freshwater . You know what I did?

I took a styrofoam cup, added tap water, and mixed in regular table salt (I guessed a random amount). I added the fish to it. They didn’t live for long.

I was like 8-10 years old. That was the start of my saltwater “career”. How far I’ve come…

With the ocean fish? No.

But now I have saltwater fish so I guess you can say that I’ve tried again! I use instant ocean instead of Morton Iodized lol.

This is why warning labels on products are so long.

I think warning labels need to be abolished but ingredient and associated safety needs mandated. Tide pods challenge comes to mind

I knew someone who did this at an lfs I worked at (they were a customer). They brought the fish in a big and their shrimp too and asked what killed them

A couple of months ago, I did make pasta with freshly made saltwater, because I kept hearing advice that the water should "be as salty as the sea". Lies! Seawater does not (and did not) make a dish suitable for company. I am a living cautionary tale! I saved the day by serving lots and lots (and lots) of wine at supper.
