No, sorry

Okay, so to finish up these tests I tested PE Mysis rinsed, New Salt Water (Instant Ocean), and my homemade fish mush prior to adding additives such as garlic and vitamins. I updated the original post with these results, but here they are.

- Rinsed PE Mysis - >2.5 !!
- New Salt Water (Instant Ocean) - 0.0
- My Homemade Fish mush (before additives added) - 0.33

Now, the first thing that jumped out at me was the PE Mysis! Yikes! One thing that was different was that I left the PE Mysis out over night so it had a long time to leech out. Also, PE Mysis is made up of a heck of a lot of water, so there must be a lot of phosphate bound up in its body. I was quite surprised to see how little phosphate was in the superstore mixed seafood which I use for my homemade blended fish mush. This leads me to conclude that there must be a lot of phosphates in the additives, either the garlic extract or selcon or both!
