MrSalty Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 i think we should have a liverock scaping competition. many reefers have the talent for rock scaping. my vote goes to you. thanks bro, cant say I have talent - am still learning the hobby, lots of things to catch up. a lot of water is evaporating form my fish tank, everyday got to top up & concern that the level run too low at the return pump compartment. ... should I start my chiller to reduce the evaporation?

Thx Ok bro I go take a pic later. According to the person who sold me the mud, its like fertilizer for the for mircoalgae to grow, thus take up for nutrients when they grow and reduce the time for cycle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSalty Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 Nsw known to have low mg/ca/kh. That y usually reefers use good saltmix to maintain the perimeters Yup, tested water again yesterday. Mg is at 1350. still lower than ideal - l will have to get supplements to raise the parameters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSalty Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 hi bros seek your advice - is RODI unit + salt mix a must / preferred way to keeping SPS can I just buy distilled water & add salt mix for water changes? OR can I still use NSW ( low mg / ca / kh ) & try to raise the parameters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Reefzzz Posted November 27, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted November 27, 2013 hi bros seek your advice - is RODI unit + salt mix a must / preferred way to keeping SPS can I just buy distilled water & add salt mix for water changes? OR can I still use NSW ( low mg / ca / kh ) & try to raise the parameters? Bro, my opinion: 1) can I just buy distilled water & add salt mix for water changes? >> This will be most ideal as the distilled water is confirm pure but I am not too sure about the cost of the distilled water. 2) is RODI unit + salt mix a must / preferred way to keeping SPS >> RODI + a good salt mix is also ideal. If you planning to mix salt water on your own. At least a DI is a minimum. 3) can I still use NSW ( low mg / ca / kh ) & try to raise the parameters? >> Raising these parameters is tricky. If you add in randomly, you potentially may reach a point of ionic imbalance of the seawater. This is due to the fact that by adding one chemical compound to raise a certain parameter, some other ions might be displaced out. Some of the bros here might be able to help out. For me, I still prefer to replenish these elements by constant regular waterchange.
