Seawater or DIY saltwater?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Recently heard that seawater bought from farms are esp good and ppl even commented their corals seems to be opening bigger with seawater and marine fish, more radiant and livelier. Is it truth or plain Bull shit?

Is there any advantage of using seawater over DIY water?

Will using seawater enhance anything?

For once, i only know if i uses seawater, maybe there will be no or less problems from phosphate, silicate and chloramine (all from tap water)

thanks...all feedbacks from bro who tried both DIY and seawater will be much appreciated as u will be those that can give unbiased reply i guess :D

Depends on how well you do a DIY mixture......

I tend to use seawater but only after i've tested it first.

Goodluck.

Suggestions so far.

1. Remove coral chips and ceramic rings and replace with live rocks. removed...looking for live rocks now

2. get rid of most of the filter cloth

3. First Buy!!! Skimz FR with Sorb4 and eheim pump

4. Re-doing the sump.....I~aquatic doing up the plans.

5. Lighting MH+T5 or T5 only? how many?

6. Chiller?

7. Wave maker

8. check valve on the return line to prevent sump overflow (great idea)

9. Refugium? Anything to replace it? a FR of some sort maybe?
