Salt mix with tapwater


Recommended Posts

My own experience does not mean will work for everyone. But sharing is no harm.
I used tap water since day 1 for my soft and LPS tank. Also dosed anti chlorine and use a cheap wave maker to mix the salt mix. This is done usually one day before the water change day.

So far so good for the last 8 months. Just minor algae growth which I think is because of the daily feeding routine which comprises 4 cubes of mysis and pellets.
Only nutrient export option used is a 24 by 7 hr Chaeto based refugium.
Also have a strong team of about 50 snails which every night graze the algae.

Hi, what do you mean by 24 by 7 hour? 24 days and 7 hours each day? i'm considering to use refugium
