Thanks for the correction.  Since I've never kept either on my kitchen (or 
bathroom?) shelf, I have no inkling what the composition is, either than the 
magnesium. When I began hatching brine shrimp, Epsom salts was recommended 
along with uniodized salt. Along with the *salts* (as in Epsom ..), I 
inferred that sodium was a component. 

Just my ignorance rearing it's head again.
