What is an s15 report on salt mixes and where can it be found.

It is a totally useless marketing ploy published decades ago. Rarely have I seen stupider attempts to sell reef salt.

All of the salts have changed since that study, even if one believed the bogus scoring system.

Here’s a copy of just one comment I made about it in 2006:


The S-15 also had a contrived list of "good attributes" of a salt mix designed to make theirs best. Some of the things I wouldn't have wanted or wouldn't care about. One criteria, for example, is

"Enhanced amounts of calcium and strontium"

So pure natural seawater would not have scored 100%.
then another category was:

"Contains strontium similar to NSW. "

Apparently, their mix got points for this and enhanced strontium. Not sure how that worked out.
