Those "trace minerals" as you call them, are in every food or living
organism that you feed to your fish. Don't worry about your trace minerals,
worry more about that PO4 that feeds the algae and spoils your tank

Ah come on admit its true, trust me no one is gonna laugh. .....come
on now admit its ture...thats got to be the best frugal thing i have

Doesn't sound like that great an idea to me. The critters in the tank USE
the trace minerals in the salt mix. It would get so depleted after time, I
would think critters would begin to suffer.
