Just venting.

This is absolute insanity. And im here just to vent. Im in the middle of filling my 200 gallons tank. I have 5 brutes filled with rodi. Ready for salt to be added. I bought 2 big nyos buckets for over 200 gallons supposedly. And i just mixed 1 brute and a half. And im not even near finishing. And im already out of the first bucket. And theres literally 3 brutes left. And a 4th one that needs more salt. Nyos salt is out of stock everywhere, not even my lfs carries it, or any online store this is insanity. Like im not sure what nyos expect ? What about people who wants to do water changes, or filling new tanks. What are we supposed to do. Im stuck in the middle of filling the tank. Its crazy @nyos

I wish Nyos products were more readily available as well, but that has everything to do with the distributor in the US. I'd check your salinity as each pail is supposed to make 175 gallons - so you should have more than enough salt.

Sucks, i don't know much about nyos salt but I've been using what's always in abundance or at the big retailers (ie instant ocean and Reef crystals). I'm sure you can continue with a small sw batch from another manufacturer to fill up till you get some more in.

You can always dilute it in the tank. Mystery solved! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Its not in the tank its in the brute i want to mix before hand. But that was for sure funny

You may need a few more brutes to dilute back down to ~1.025.
