	Nutri-Seawater
PeaceB2U Hobbyist Posts: 64 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-Jul-2004	As I'm preparing to set up my first reef aquarium, I saw an advertisement in a current aquarium magazine for Nutri-Seawater, a natural live ocean saltwater. It says that it can be poured directly into your aquarium ... no need to mix up saltwater or treat water with ozone or UV. Has anyone had any experience with this product? Do you know where it can be purchased online?

It may be something nice to keep around in case of an emergency, but thats about it. I thikn its too expensive to use to fill up a tank exclusively, but other than that it is a very good idea. Obviously easy to use and no way to error its addition at all. Cost is an issue for me though. My LFS ocassionally carries boxed water.

Just get some aquarium salt, instead. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
