    I believe the RedSea salt is actually a 5 gallon bucket. I used to use it but I now use the IO reef crystals. Which is like $40-45, I think that's what mine cost for 200g.

    Problem is, SW is not a weed killer. The ground would need to be saturated for it to have any effect, at which point it would also kill any other terrestrial vegetation in the area as well as beneficial bacteriums and infauna.

    I just buld my pump for water change/ start doing 50/50 (half filtered half new) will see what will happend. Pumping water from sifoned bottom of tank with all junk and **** pushing water through 30nm filter and I got crystal clear reusable water! It just mechanical filter to get same water but clean from any life or organical stuff.
