Randy,
Can you explain your system or post a link? And any required hardware.. please
I was wondering where you got that sheving... I just bought those tanks to attempt this exact setup but need to find shelving or build it.
Unless the salt has organic matter added to it (Reef Crystals, Tropic Marin Bioactif, possibly others), there's no need to stir it beyond the initial mixing.
Some salt mixes have significant precipitation of calcium carbonate on pumps and heaters, so mixing more them may actually be counter productive.
How long can you store premade salt water, guessing have it circulated it can last longer? Will be follow this post.
I store my salt water in grey Brutes (2 x 44 gallons plumbed together).
For Instant Ocean, there no need to stir it after the initial mixing. I don't heat it either, since I change it really slow (1% daily in a bunch of 15 minute periods on a timer).
I store and mix my water in these.
Fresh on top, saltwater on the bottom. (ATO is a separate container)
I mix until the saltwater is throughly mixed and then I have about 10 days worth of auto water changes.
The auto water changes are performed by my Profilux. It's part of the standard programming. And it utilizes level sensors in the sump so it's very precise with no chance of salinity changes.
Where can I find water tanks like this and what is their capacity?
