This table shows the values of top major and minor elements as well as related compounds (all mainly ionic) found in natural sea water (NSW) that are considered to be essential for saltwater aquariums. This table can be used as a guideline to compare these elements to those contained in sea salt mixes when choosing a mix to buy. Note that values obtained from different sources vary, as
values can change from test to test for different reasons, but for
the most part these values reflect the overall average measurements
from various resources referenced to formulate this table.
