I work in the Living Seashore exhibit at the National Aquarium. We do indeed use the municipal water and our own DIY salt mix. We don't use it straight though, we filter it through a reverse osmosis process.

Interesting side note, according to one of the supervisors, we're looking at switching to a major manufacturer's mix. The roll-your-own has become less cost effective over time, and it may be cheaper to establish a contract with one of the major manufacturers.

If they are still interested in looking at a high quality major manufacturers salt mix, Chip, have them call me at 413-367-0101 or email to [email protected]. Thanks

Lou,
It's great to hear from you and you've always taken the time to help and share with myself over the years.
I hope that you and TM are doing great.

As @MrMichael just pointed out, again

Personally, I think we need a new mix like another hole to the head but (lol) I guess we'll see how it plays out.

Regarding the post above

Looks like we may have found the source of the new salt mix.

Also, It saddens me that Fritz seems to be releasing bad batches of late.

It comes in the exact same 205 gallon boxes, 180 gallon buckets and 53 gallon bags ... that Fritz uses

Fritz RPM Specs.
"Parameters*
Salinity 35 ppt (1.025 sg) <---- ???
Calcium 400-450 ppm
Magnesium 1350-1450 ppm
Alkalinity 8.0 - 9.0 dKH
Strontium 9 ppm
Potassium 400 ppm"

LiveAquaria Specs.

Hi Freddie,
Thanks for the shout out. Doing great. Hope your reef is doing well. This certainly was a very interesting thread. I love how in depth the reefing community is questioning things. That is always a good beginning.
Thanks again. Props to polyps!
