Greetings to all honourable members, Lords and Ladies
Until a few weeks back I was taking for granted the salinity level of nsw collected in the surge zone, needless to say I almost fell on my back when after a year and a half I eventually put a few drops onto a refractometer and looked into the light, the reading I got was 1.030 now the question that I have is. Has anyone done any trace element testing on nsw collected in the surge zone (are they in as much of a consentrated form as sodium chloride)? Would "watering" the nsw down before use work? or would it just be easier to close my eyes and buy salt from my lfs and make my own water. The reason for the question is because I stay a few steps away from what I consider one of the most prestine beaches in sa and having to buy salt would just take the joy out of watching my better and much prettier half swearing at me while she helps carry water thanx
Ps yes she helps a hellava lot
