"Nutri Seawater"

[heartbreak7]

I was just wondering if anyone out there uses this stuff for water changes or the like. Looks interesting, but I just wanted to see if it was legit.

It may be fine, but I can't resist bashing these sorts of overmarketed products.


You've gotta love the claim about the secret additive QX-23Ã"šÃ‚® :lol:
The best components are Aluminum Nickel, Silver, Cadmium, Thallium, Stannus, and Antimony. All are potentially toxic and have no known biological function that I've seen. It is probably just a list of impurities in the salts that they actually add.
(FWIW, the Stannus is a typo, unless the've invented a new form of tin).

Nutri-Seawaterâ„¢ is Naturally Filtered - Does not remove
or modify what mother nature intended.

It removes only the things Mother Nature didn't intend? Like what?

NO WAITING... JUST ADD FISH!

No need to cycle the aquarium, huh? Believe that at your own peril.

Contains natural Live marine Heterotrophic, Autotrophic and Chemolithotrophic bacteria to provide a proper inorganic balance.

Huh? Can't they just put in the right inorganic ions in the first place? :lol:

Thanks for the replies, I was going to use it for a quick water change, but Randy has lead me to doubts.

i have used the water before and it does work. it a little pricey but you dont have to mix salt.

I use this on occasion for water changes and keep two 4.4 gallon jugs for emergency water changes. I agree that the labeling is a bit much but that's the nature of the beast. Luckily we have sites like this so we can educate ourselves.

Does anyone know what the salinity of this stuff comes out to? It isn't found on the label at all. Has anyone used it with bad results?

Thanks again
