Anyone Compiled Spreadsheet of The Different Salt Mixes With Their Parameters?

[PeterC99]

Wondering if anyone has taken the time to compile the different parameters (Alk, Calc, Mg, etc.) for the different salt mixes?

Im using TMP but always have to add baking soda to get Alk up to tank level for my water changes. Hoping to find a side-by-side comparison of the leading salt mixes.

Thank you!

I am sure I had seen one somewhere

Brs did a video of mixing salts and what the levels was to start with then different intervals after i believe

This is video i was on about but just quickly skipped through it and think only tested for calcium and alkalinity at a certain salinity and if levels fluctuate over certain lengths of time.
They tested 8 popular salts.not sure if this helps or you wanting all the elements. If you do maybe they have another video on it idk

Perhaps the software AquaCalculator ( http://www.aquacalculator.com) is what you are looking for. You can find parameters of many brands of salt in there.

As mentioned there are plenty of videos comparing salt mixes. I was using TMP as well and as you I had to bump up the alk The ridiculous higher price, availability in our area and the need to raise the alk anyway steered me away. I switched to Red Sea blue which is much cheaper and more readily available. It consistently mixes for me @1.026 SG with cal @ 425; mag@ 1290 and the alk is 8.5. I have a heavily stocked tank so I dose the TM A &K elements as well. I haven’t seen any significant difference since switching a few months ago.

Still looking for the Salt parameter spreadsheet.

Post 235 got the basics calcium,alk,mag but take it you want all off them?
Sure if you googled someone would of done it or if not couldn't you just go on each salt website and get them maybe

Heres instant ocean and aquaforest to get you started

Saltmix Parameters bring on the test results

There was an excellent thread put together quite some time ago now by Billybeau1 and hilgert. I've referred to it may times to see if someone is close to the expected values of a particular saltmix. There can of course be slight variations and if any settling has occurred in the mix before use...

Maybe this what you looking for @PeterC99 ?
Page 8 got lots data on lots different salt mixes and lots elements,not sure if different from post 1 ( like if he updated all on post 1 as only flicked through it)

This list is 3+ years old but it’s all I got
