Ever eat anything raw from the sea? As someone said earlier, you're probably better off drinking from your reef than you are from your planted tank.

And I'm surprised no one's brought this down to Brett's level yet. So I'll say it.

Spit it out or swallow it, you still got it in your mouth.

You've heard all the commercials for the 'probiotic' yogurts on the market ?

Well, you just got a month's worth in a mouthful.

You'll be fine -probably even good for you.

I just hope you didn't spit it back into the tank. Now that would be harmful...lol.
I have had my few mouth washes and I am still alive although I can now breath under water due to the gills I grew....

Ever gone snorkeling ? You always end up drinking a fair amount there , wont ever stop me from climbing back in . Even if you tank is full of some kind of nasty fish disease your not a fish so don't worry.

I always worried because its synthetic salt mix... Does anyone know what they do to the salt or where it comes from?
