The funny/strange thing about the article by Hovanec and Coshland was that it was supposed to be part I of a series. They were going to publish more details about the major and minor ions in the water as well. I was interested in this because years ago there was a similar analysis by Craig Bingman. His results were different still, but it was a LONG time ago. As I recall two minor elements that were missing from Instant Ocean at the time (according to his analysis) were bromine and flourine (in the forms of bromide and flouride ions).
I called the makers of IO directly and asked them about whether they added either of these ions to their mix. They said no. Reason being that if you add (this is according to them or others I don't know for sure whether it's true) bromide to your salt mix and you are using ozone you can creat hypobromite (similar, again, I think, to hypochlorite [bleach]) and the critters in your tank will not thank you for it. The IO guys said that they were not adding flouride because they figured most municipal water systems had about 1 ppm flouride in the water anyhow. They said they might start adding it however since a lot of people are using RO/DI systems.
After hearing from them (since I was not using ozone) I started adding bromide and flouride (as sodium bromide and sodium flouride) directly to all batches of IO I made up, I added sufficient of each to bring up to NSW level, assuming the starting level was zero. After hearing about the zero Br and Fl, Bob Stark (ESV) also decided to come out with a Br and Fl supplement that I believe he still sells. There was some chatter on Compuserve's Fishnet forum about this time that maybe the reason so many people were having a problem with RTN at the time was due to the lack of Br and Fl (not really sure I buy this either!, but I imagine it sold some bottles of supplement for Bob!!).
Anyhow, the article from Hovanec and Coshland was supposed to be part I of a series. I joked recently on Randy's Reef Chemisty forum that perhaps IO didn't do so well in the testing for the other elements so they may have decided not to publish the rest!!
