    Salt v target alkalinity

    Am I using the correct salt for my goal parameters?

    Hey Reefers! I'm a newbie, but learning more every day. I'm just running a nano currently, and I was just curious if the salt I'm running is working against me trying to stabilize my parameters.

    HAS ANYONE USED ELOS SALT?

    Just got a box of ELOS salt mix from a buddy of mine on a trade. Has anyone here used it? And I’m having a problem finding any in the USA. I have seen online it should be some top tier salt but don’t want to start using it if I can’t get more. Thanks in advance for any info.

    Mixed salt water problem-Where did the salt go??

    My usual routine is to run about 30-32 gallons of RODI for my water change, and I mix my salt overnight. I use Red Sea Coral Pro and have never had a problem. I realize instructions say not to mix more than 2 hours, but by aerating it overnight I’ve had better luck with a stable reading. I’ve...

    So im about to add in my Arag-alive sand and then add in my saltwater, I just have a few questions: 1. I only have 10 gallons of saltwater made (about 40% of what the tank needs) will that affect the live sand? 2. I'm pretty sure I am supposed to put in the return pump and heater before adding...
