mixing saltwater

I recently purchased a used 6-stage BRS RODI system with a Aquetec booster pump. The pump came with the auto-flush and the 40psi pressure switch for the clean water line. After watching countless youtube videos, I feel very confident that I have the system setup correctly. I currently have a...

I am planning on starting a new tank in the near future and was planning one starting with dry rock (trying to avoid hitchhikers lol) but i see it says not to mix for more then 4 hours would this cause any issues if i left a power head and heater in while letting the rocks start their cycling...

I'm wanting to ask because I feel very, very stupid. I have a hard time with math and numbers related things and I didn't want to screw up immediately. So, um - about mixing saltwater. If I have two 5 gallon buckets, do I mix both at the same salinity and combine once fully mixed? Is that the...

Hello, I am new hear, and I've used this forum to get up to speed. I recently made a mistake when mixing salt water... having some RODI waste water enter into the mix for just about a minute. I'm wondering if i've contaminated my batch of saltwater. I use a 40 gallon brute can to mix my...

In my never ending quest to gather as much information as I can BEFORE I start my tank, I have a question about premixing saltwater for water changes. I know that regular water changing is very important for keeping a health reef aquarium. Having premixed, ready to go, saltwater will make that...

For everyone who doesn't have a dedicated mixing station... what's your protocol to clean and store buckets, heaters, + submersible pumps after you finish mixing? - Love Kait!

I have filled my rodi container and mixed it with salt and had the heater turned on and let it circulate for more than a week. I was unable to use the water immediately due to being sick. Now when I looked inside of it I found this brownish film along the edge and the water itself looks kinda...

Hello fellow saltines, I know this is such a lame question but I'm kind of confused about mixing salt (temp and time). There are plenty of threads on here but they haven't helped. I currently have a brackish tank that isn't heated. I let it rise and fall with the seasons so my saltwater is...

I have two brute trash cans that I use for my rodi storage and mixing station. I’m gonna call the clean rodi water storage can Can A, and the other one I’ll call can B which I used to use to make the saltwater mix. Normally I use can A just to store and heat the new rodi water and can B to make...

I’ve noticed my newly mixed saltwater having some brown “stuff” in it lately. Tried rinsing and wiping away the brown build up on the walls of the container (nfs brute can), but it came back after a couple mixes. The last water change I did on my 55 g seemed to tick off my Duncan and hammer...

So I'm new to making saltwater, been using LFS water and they use Fritz salt. Finally ordering an RODI system and going to be making my own saltwater and all. I know it's ideal to use to same salt you've been using with your system, but Fritz salt is like 2-3x's more expensive than some of the...

Hi all, I've started using a Neptune DOS for a daily auto water change. Once a week mix 60 ltr (13 gallons) in my storage tank and leave it to run - so far working well. I have a small powerhead in the storage tank to mix and keep things moving. Typically the water sits around 68' room...

Does anyone happen to know the salt to water mixing ratio for the RedSea Coral Pro salt? I quickly looked over the bucket but I don't see the measurements or ratio on there. I bought exactly enough for what I need, 55gal bucket, but I have to make two separate batches due to size of barrel.

I just picked up a like new blue line/ pan world 70 HD for a steel. I already have a jecod/jeabo Dct 9000 for my return pump. I'm wanting to use it for a mixing station pump which will be in the garage. So I will use it to pump FSW and top off water to the fish room 25' away and up 4'. It's...

Due to time constraints, I've fallen so far behind on my usual 20% (20 gallon) water changes that I've decided to re-adopt a water change strategy that worked well before, but requires smaller chunks of time to pull off. I'll be doing 5 gallons a day - which is only 5% - but it'll still give me...
