I’m not sure what you think is incorrect or an autocorrect...

Yes I said you can ferment the seawater. For fermented seawater you add some other natural farming inputs like FPJ (Fermented Plant Juice) which feed the microbes in the water and let them multiply. Those microbes make the trace elements in the seawater more bioavailable for your plants to use.
You wrote “sweater”

I was using it for snow/ice melt which worked well on my deck. I am able to grill out now !!
Otherwise I run hose off deck over leaf pile which the deer love the salt when eating the leaves for forage

Hey I always ferment the sweater before I apply it. That's an interesting answer though. Do you still dilute the saltwater, how long do you let it ferment?
Yea you still dilute it down, otherwise the salt content would be too high.
you let it ferment for between 12-36 hours depending on temp. You’ll see a bacterial bloom

adding dirty water to a quarantine tank sounds counter intuitive..

can someone explain why it's beneficial??
If you're quarantine a new fish why not? Its pretty much the same parameters as its new home.
