I couldn't find those bumps here in the US either

FYI.. I just sent an email to AquariumObsessed (only USA distributor

) and DarkLordCoral.

Seems that they don't (Grotech) :-(
I was misleaded by their english menu in the onlineshop, but even the term&condition page behind the engl. menuentry is german .

Booze - email sent to aquariumspecialty.

No Problem Ralf. I knew it was too good to be true

Doni, does Aquarium products for the Professional and Hobbyist. Shipping all over the world., the company you have researched for the Grotech dosers, have the NaCl free salt? It could be ordered at the same time as the doser.

I'm still fussing for space for this new equipment.

would "Live Bearer Salt" work here, Live Bearer Salt ? it has some Na+ but minimal amounts. maybe a email to seachem might help.

Woodstock · 02-27-2008, 07:04 PM

Scott, I have emailed them.

Prow, I do not know. I TRIED to email Seachem but it bounced back and said my server was blacklisted

No wonder US reefers do not use a sodium chloride free salt! Gezzzz...

It's not available here!!

Dentoid · 02-27-2008, 07:06 PM

If not NaCl, what kind of salt is it?

boozeman · 02-27-2008, 07:22 PM

Blacklisted !!!

its hard to find here because we prefer to use the
co2 reactors instead.

prow · 02-27-2008, 07:27 PM

lol, blacklisted

what did you do??? you must have used the wrong wond

ok, i emailed them about it and asked if they had other mixes that are NaCl- free. we will see what they have to say.

23.98 g sodium chloride
5.029 g magnesium chloride
4.01 g sodium sulfate
1.14 g calcium chloride
0.699 g potassium chloride
0.172 g sodium bicarbonate
0.100 g potassium bromide
0.0254 g boric acid
0.0143 g strontium chloride
0.0029 g sodium fluoride
Water to 1 kg total weight.

So...
Remove the sodium chloride only from the above ingredients to achieve a NaCl-free salt.

Hello Doni Marie,

ask Tropic Marine USA where you can buy - Tropic Marine Pro Special Mineral - in the USA. They should be able to tell you a Shop. Or Marine Depot, they sell quite various TM products.

BTW .... here is a link in UK : http://www.tmc-ltd.co.uk/aquarium/tropic-additives.asp

prow · 02-27-2008, 08:05 PM

there you go doni, if TM sells it someone over here should be able to at least special order it.

Woodstock · 02-27-2008, 08:53 PM

Thanks Heinz

I sent an email to Tropic Marin earlier today. I will send one to Marine Depot right now...

Dentoid · 02-27-2008, 08:56 PM

Sorry, I was confused. Now I get it! It's a NaCl free, salt mix.

An other option is to ask Claude Schuhmacher, he is the owner of Fauna Marine. He sells his products in the USA via Dark Lord Coral Co. Claude is a fine guy, you reach Him via Contact sheet in his shop (Aqua Terra Shop)

https: // AquaTerraShop - Meerwasser

He vends there NaCl free salt of different manufacturers and can help you certainly.

BTW ... he sells also GroTech III NG dosing pumps in a special order with the balling salt.
