Match your package to the source
What the source identifies
The manufacturer identifies evaporated seawater as the source and distinguishes adding new water from simply replacing evaporated water in its instructions.
Where the evidence stops
The source is not a specification for making seawater, and the name “aquarium salt” does not establish equivalent trace minerals or plant tolerance across products.
What to check on your bottle
Write down the exact label title and whether the operation was a water exchange or top-off. Keep the two events separate in the log.
