A mineral is a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure and specific physical properties.
The minerals (not just salt, though it is the largest component by mass) in the ocean are dissolved in the water, creating a "solution".

because it is dissolved in a solvent (water) and exists as ions. It is only when the concentration is increased (by, for example) evaporation) that the mineral salt precipitates out of solution.

definite you should use faucet water yet you are able to ought to enable it sit right down to enable each of the chlorine settle out. I surely have a Betta fish and it is what I did. i purchased a gallon jug of water. Used that the first time. Then I filled it up with faucet water and enable it sit down till i had to modify the tank back. The water will be waiting in about per week. it is the proper way so that you do not ought to save utilising bottle water.
