the higher the grade, the more thin it is, and crisp. gold grade from a good company will just melt in your mouth... i think it has nothing to do with how much salt is in it, but raither the time/season it was harvests, maybe the parts it was used, kind of like tea, the best tea always comes from the tip, the new growth...

Good Information and thanks for the offer, I think I'm fine for now.

I might search around the net later for more information, but now I know a lot more.

So I should probably go do my homework now... meh french horn playing in braces

Talk to you guys later,

i use the silver grade for my catering company...but then agian that might be why the company is considered a high class resturant.

anyways the hardness should increase with the salt content because hardness is just chemicals/stuff parts per water right? i know if i add aquarium salt it increases my hardness by a bunch that's why i was thinking of testing it like that. i just dont know of the actual nori would make the readings higher. i guess i'll try it out with my cherry shrimps first and see what happens. then afterwards test out with more expensive shrimp

oh, i see, i think we should make a seaweed based shrimp food, and test it, i do have a 10 that only has a betta and 3 cories atm, did had a doz. of danio in it, but only 2 is left and i move those to my 20l tank... long story, i guess in the near future i can put some rcs in the 10g and test out those food and see how everything goes...

i would want to try it out but since i only have 3 cherry shrimps i don't want them to die for an experiement. maybe when i get a few more i'll experiment with them directly. until then i'm gonna run a few tests to see if there's any salt content in the stuff i use...then i'll post it up with pictures so people can look for the stuff i use if anything
