table salt

i ran out of io salt so i used mortons table salt.i figure if its good enough for me then the fish will love it.you think i'll need to add some baking soda and some bleach to sterylize it?maybe some calcium and such?i hope so.is it normal for my coral to glow in the dark?

 

are you joking?

 

a...yeah....what he said.

 

Ohh lordy, I dunno.. now i have NO clue if that would work or not ( it sounds if a disaster is in the making )

 

ziggy...did you bump your head? table salt??? if you do the iodized salt, you'll overdose your tank with iodine, too high amount in table salt, I would think. not sure what using it will do, but I'm sure it's not good

 

This is a Q for the Tangster. I never heard of that before. Luna

 

I think he may be joking, with the whole glow in the dark coral thing. As I'm sure many people here know, ocean water is much more than just salt. It contains critical trace elements and minerals that living organisms need to survive. You might be able to use it in an emergency, as long as it's not for too long and don't use too much compared to the volume of the tank

 

but why risk it when you can just run to a lfs and buy a small bag of it

 

Please say it aint so, That stuff is a lot different I would think! I know it has Iodine, I just hope it aint so.

 

I would certainly 2nd that if any one could have a solid answer it would be tangster on that .

TABLE SALT ???? EHHHH'''' LOL I THINK I'D RATHER TRY THROWING A GRANADE IN MY TANK AND SEE IF IT SURRVIVES THE BLAST./LOL
