      They have thousands of gallons of water and do basically weekly icp tests and treat it as a full time job. You do not. My buddies 250gallon tank has been wiped out twice by bad batches of IO. Most recently about 3 months ago his zinc shot up to 250 But because he does icps every couple months instead of weekly it was too late. The crazy part is that if you are buying salt retail because you are not a business or have thousands of gallons IO is only like $10 cheaper than most "high end salts" i used to use reef crystals, but i was tired of my mixing bin being full of disgusting crud and bird feathers.

Would this be the case if "country x" imports corals legally but also illegally. And then they may export the illegal corals to another country with the Cites of the corals that were originally legally imported? Is this how corals turns up from countries that usually do not export to western countries?
