Glad to hear your making Hay.:) Things are slowing down in the auto Industry :eek: so I have the chance to spend more time finishing up projects. I mixed My First batch of salt-water in my Mix Station yesterday :D I tried sock-less, BIG MISTAKE.

I am going back to the weekly auto water change with the DOS. My corals have not been doing well with the daily water change and this could be due to the way Aquaforest reef salt works. I ask Seweryn directly, Seweryn suggested that using the salt fresh mixed is better for the system.

I thought about that myself, storing SW. The good stuff peters out;)

Seweryn was stating the the reef salt has a 5 day mix life, but also said that it is better to mix the salt and us it.
