To ReeFeR_MaN, Greg Bunch and richard reynolds, many thanks for taking
time
to reply.

Your input is very much appreciated, as to using natural seawater,
well
where I live in Western Australia, there is a large industrial area
called
Kwinana. This industrial area is right on the coast and the state
government
has given most of the chemical manufacturing industries, exemption
from
having to abide by enviromental laws. These exemptions date back to
the
early 1970's when the government put industry above the environment
and
every government since then has lacked the will to revoke these
exemptions.

Therefore as you can appreciate collection of natural seawater is not
really
an option. Especially when industries are now being caught for Arsenic
spills, herbecide spills and diesel spills which have happened years
prior
and are only being caught out because of the ground water
contamination,
tracked back to specific companies. This ground water goes directly
into
Cockburn Sound, and is resulting in fish kills, shell fish, small
inshore
reefs and starfish are the major casualties at present.

So that is why I need to find a good quality artifical seawater that
is both
cost effective and suitable to seahorses.

Mark

What you *really* need to do is Get this company sorted out there is
legislation in place to heavily fine anyone polluting the environment.
Have you a Greenpeace type organisation you can get in touch with.?
then maybe one day you will be able to collect natural clean seawater
as is your right.
