In learning about raw feeding our dogs and natural diets for the rest of our animals we learned to watch for certain things..
the first, and IMO most important, is advice from someone that sells products that do the same thing that you want to do naturally.
when you read a sales pitch you need to learn to tell the difference between carefully crafted crap and real info that you can use.

I could probubly start a chain of links with differing opinions that would last a good month but I'd rather use your own post...
If I'm wrong..as you say...then what does that say about your own previous post?

No no "wrong" (and I did say sorry and sir in all seriousness) was that there was no such thing as "UN" iodized table salt. There are two different types iodized and unionized. Not trying to fight just saying what I know.

All of that stuff was new to me also In the above post I explain the confusion. No matter what that link says I would personally NOT put iodized in my tanks I have been warned against it many many times, and all my cichlid books say never use it. It could be crap, we all can decide that, categorically, or collectively, or leave it be, in either case, The above post explains my only view on this topic. Hope things are more clear now.
And still just asking. what was second? The bold sentence to me is an incomplete thought and I have read it 50 times....
I buy "uniodized" salt at the local supermarket for .60 cents for a pint or so and it works just fine. I really don't think there is a difference between this and the stuff prepared for aquariums other than the price. In my opinion, sodium chloride is sodium chloride no matter how you label it. I have read that table salt has anti clumping agents added, but doesn't seem to hurt anything.
if you are just using salt with the 1 per 5 rule then table salt is fine because there is very little iodine in the salt as iodine is very toxic to humans but I wouldnt recommend using table salt for brackish tanks as brackish tanks are normally higher then the 1 per 5...
