I am located in San Ramon3 gallons
I have a biocube. I should run to pet smart before they closeIs it a sump or all in one? I assume you do not have enough water to make a return. Unless you know someone near you or someone local offers, I would at least try to keep water heated and flowing in all areas even if the areas are kept separate overnight. That is just off my head. More info on your setup would help.
How much salt water you need? and where are you located. I can make 5-6G in an hour, located at foster city.
This should not be a big problem either way. Just run power head, and may be an airstone
Whoa, this will be like couple of hours drive then. How big is your tank, can tell us a bit about your setup ?I am located in San Ramon
Thank you!You are good. You can add the circulation pump in main tank as well, and keep the airstone in back chamber, that will keep thing fairly safe for the whole night or even more,
Regarding the saltwater mix, do what @JVU said. Make sure the water you are making is of same salinity (should be around 1.025-1.026) and same temperature (76-80). Thats all you need to do, after 30 min to an hour mixing, you are good to go, check the salinity before adding it to the tank.
So if I understand you, you added the appropriate amount of reef salt to RO/DI water, added a pump to mix, and added a heater to get it up to tank temp? Or you can mix manually by stirring every few min.
At that point, the salt should dissolve in less than 30 min, when you don’t see any salt left, check the salinity, add more salt or water as needed and then add to your tank.
Not sure. I just bring my buckets into Aquatic Collection, and they fill me up. Anyone know what they use?Should all be fine. And now you have salt mix. Maybe keep some distilled water in the future for emergencies if you continue to buy premixed. Is it the same salt as from the LFS? I would assume. Parameters may be different if not, but better than nothing.
Good point, I will keep that in consideration I swear I had another 5 gallons of saltwater before my family cleaned my garage.Should all be fine. And now you have salt mix. Maybe keep some distilled water in the future for emergencies if you continue to buy premixed. Is it the same salt as from the LFS? I would assume. Parameters may be different if not, but better than nothing.
