Is API "Aquarium Salt" magnesium sulfate?

[FESHMAN]

So as the title says, is this thing magnesium sulfate? Epsom salt is almost unheard of where I live, I've only found scented ones in the asian market, and ordering it online would cost approximately 3 million dollars.

No they are two different minerals.https://www.apifishcare.com/product.php?p=details&id=628#.WlLXDnNOmBZ

If you look at the sds it's sodium chloride - simple table salt.

Yet the packaging and the website says it is made from evaporated seawater.

Salt (NaCl) is salt. Salt for salt water tanks, is different, and has many additives such as iodine, and other minerals found in the ocean.
Epsom salt, is magnesium sulfate.
For my tanks, if I need salt, I buy either rock salt, or water saltener salt ($5 for 50lbs/@22.5 kilos).
If I need Epsom salt I buy t at the local pharmacy.

Thank you all guys for your input.
So I guess it's just regular salt in fancy packaging..

I just wanted to have some epsom salt on hand for hex and constipation.

I must be getting old. It took a few seconds for my brain to connect "3 million dollars" to obviously he's in another country.
