SaltWonder what the solids are
It's the total of everything listed (other than water). Add up the numbers, they equal 86.11Salt
everything that isn't moisture (water)
What method was used for this?
What do you mean here?Hey would you look at that you all do know what solids are now do you know what clay is made of
Clay minerals are composed essentially of silica, alumina or magnesia or both, and water, but iron substitutes for aluminum and magnesium in varying degrees, and appreciable quantities of potassium, sodium, and calcium are frequently present as well.

So ... reef drama?Has stated, and was crushed, for stating that IO contains clay and that is what the residue is in mixing buckets. Dr. RFH has accurately pointed out that IO is not really an issue for this, but more of a problem with RC. Even with RC is has been positively shown to be calcium/carbonate precipitation that dissolves with some lower pH (acid add, for example). Poster did not like this, called Dr. RFH a troll and has since tried to drum up support that IO is full of clay and responsible for lots and lots of bad issues in many, many tanks. When asked for proof that IO (or RC) contains clay and just blew it off claiming that it was already proven and posted about. I guess this is the "proof?"
...I think that is most of today's history.
I was actually thinking I needed to take a test. Here’s a test….random numbers and letters with no reference on how or where they were obtained. I’m throwing all my io salt in the trash as we speak, this is devastating!I feel like you're trying to get at something here, but I have no idea what it is.
Don’t know if you’ve seen Idiocracy. Every time I see these things I’m reminded of irrigating crops with “Brawndo” and when it’s suggested to use water instead….”you mean the stuff in the toilet?” HaHas stated, and was crushed, for stating that IO contains clay and that is what the residue is in mixing buckets.

Yeah... with the most used and most trusted salt in the industry... and the most trusted chemist that we have. ...but everybody else are the trolls.
I cannot remember if it was this poster, or somebody else, who asked Dr. RHF how long it has been since he had a reef and why he thinks that a new method was this-or-that since he did not try it (paraphrasing off of memory). ...like chemistry or biology has changed since Dr. RHF had a reef... and that the methods of today are somehow different than in years past, other than a new name and new marketing.
Tough day for Dr. RHF if he did not have thick skin and otherwise knew that he is right.
I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.Science should NEVER mind being questioned, thought to be wrong, or any such things. If that's a problem for a scientist, they should have become a preacher.

Ghost how appropriate ... LUL.
