Bro, your tank just supported by the wood n Styrofoam at the edge? Once the live rocks in, the uneven weight distribution might crack your tank base.

Hi bro tks so much for your replies.

I'm basically using it to hold water. I'll keep in mind not to put too much life rocks. The wood lifts the tank from the floor , so helps in circulation cus it's on the setting sun side - hot hot. Hope tank doesn't crack hehe no joke.

If you need to lift your tank with wooden strip I propose you have the wooden strip at every 1 ft distance for more even load distribution if your tank is more then 1 ft.

I do not understand why your water turn bad. I every week also mix salt water and is contain in the pail for a week without issue

Sherman tks for the tip. Right now it's 1.75 ft apart , 4 ft tank with 3 wooden bar at bottom. Maybe I should have done it breadth-wise (ie front n back with wooden bar ) instead of width-wise . Hmmm thinking if draining out the water makes me tired

Red sea salt instruction say to be used not more than 4hr after mixed..I m using red sea salt too..the water is clear..I usually use the mixed water after 30-45min..cheers

Bro Most salts When mixed into proportions can be used week's after with no problem..But of course it must be circulated and well sealed to avoid contamination..2weeks i kept some water ..no prob..

cheers!

That was the key reason I used to use TM as well. Was thinking of trying out other brands.
