To ReeFeR_MaN, Greg Bunch and richard reynolds, many thanks for taking time
to reply.
Your input is very much appreciated, as to using natural seawater, well
where I live in Western Australia, there is a large industrial area called Kwinana. This industrial area is right on the coast and the state government has given most of the chemical manufacturing industries, exemption from
having to abide by enviromental laws. These exemptions date back to the
early 1970's when the government put industry above the environment and
every government since then has lacked the will to revoke these exemptions.
Therefore as you can appreciate collection of natural seawater is not really
an option. Especially when industries are now being caught for Arsenic
spills, herbecide spills and diesel spills which have happened years prior
and are only being caught out because of the ground water contamination, tracked back to specific companies. This ground water goes directly into Cockburn Sound, and is resulting in fish kills, shell fish, small inshore
reefs and starfish are the major casualties at present.
So that is why I need to find a good quality artifical seawater that is both cost effective and suitable to seahorses.
regards
Mark
