Well of coruse It has been around longer than any salt other than IO. It is a Germany salt and often use to be considered the premo salt in the world. It has never been very avalible. It is distributed by Hawaiian Marine Imports, also the distributor of Eheim and Dupla.

Is the current version of hw Marinemix still considered a top quality salt as compared with something like Seachem salt for example?

I can not answer that Howard. I have not even seen bag in 10 years. This is the only assay I have seen on it and it is old. It has always been low in Ca++ like IO, around 360 ppm

If you click on the bar graphs they blow up and you can see it in mmol / kg or mg / kg ( same as ppm)

Hmmm, ok thanks. Maybe I will buy a bag and test the parameters (that I'm able to).
