Tropic Marin, makers of one of the best sea salt mixes available (and used by virtually all wholesale facilities, and myself!) has introduced a new sea salt mix, which I'm excited about. Called Bio-Actif (they're German, give 'em a break), it's not yet available, but should be soon. From the news release:
The new synthetic sea salt combines maximum purity in terms of its components with the protective and growth-promoting action of bioactive substances naturally found in the sea. They form effective protection for the mucous membranes of the fish whose improved health is clearly reflected in their increased levels of mating and reproduction.
Hmm...not a lot of actual information there, or in the rest of the brochure. I wonder what they've changed? Regardless, I'll do my best to post a review as soon as it ships. In the meantime, what salt mix do you use?
Update 11-19: Tropic Marin has informed me that the salt contains " long chain marine polymers that will NOT show up on a test kit" and that they are the "key to their new salt". I'm beginning testing soon, as I've received a bucket of their new bio-actif!
