Salt

<<It's from what's in "Instant Ocean" and *not* in kosher salt (which is pure
NaCl). Java fern and Java moss tend to be estuarine plants (from what an
importer told me), and do not really like dead soft water. Kosher salt
doesn't change that at all. The artificial sea salts contain a lot of other
stuff, like magnesium, trace elements, etc. that probably are essential for
those plants. I keep them in up to 50% sea water, routinely, BTW -- even
Windelov.>>

I also used to think that Kosher salt was "pure NaCl", but I recently checked 
a box (marked with the "Parve" symbol) and was surprised to find that Sulfite 
(or was it "Sulfide") anti-caking compounds are now accepted in Kosher salt.  
This may be part of the problem.
