Can i use reef salt for a bath??

There’s no bacteria in dry sea salt .

Why do you think that?

most Epsom salt is cheap magnesium chloride.

Epsom salt is, by its definition, magnesium sulfate, not magnesium chloride.

Strange thread. Are you guys thinking of sharing a bath with your fish or something? :astonished-face:

Just curious it's all nacl so couldnt I just use reef salt for a bath instead of other bath salts would that be acceptable and safe

As often as we all are in our tanks scrubbing glass and moving things around I cannot imagine it would be harmful to you.

THAT said, I've read horror stories of people washing their filter socks in the washing machine and destroying it - Salt = rust = bad.
