Thanks for all the advice guys. From now on I will make sure I shake up the salt mix before using, heat water to temp and then continue to add the...
I use a refractometer to check which is calibrated to the ro water.
So far I have only bought salt in the box with sealed bags. I leave the salt in the bags until I use it. I usually get 3-4 water changes per bag...
I have never heated the water ahead of time, so I am using cold ro/di water, usually made the same day or day ahead. I will try heating the water...

Never ordered online but I only live an hour from there so I go down all the time for my saltwater tank and my brother goes down for their freshwater...

Couldn't agree more. You don't even realize the changes as they are occuring because you see them everyday. I guess the same thing can be said...
Thanks, I am amazed at how much the tank has changed since the start of this thread and the growth in the last two months on the zoa colony and the...
