Hi all,
I'm in a position where I can start to look at setting up my own RO filtration and mixing my own salt water.
Having always been using NSW (Natural Sea Water) previously, I'm just curious if anyone else had made the move from NSW to mixing your own and whether there were any benefits/negatives of this ?
Previously I've been buying NSW and storing it in 2x 220L drums for extended periods of time (No water circulation).
I've not had a lot of success since I've been doing this though with bad dino outbreaks over the past 9 months, not sure if this is directly related but would like to do what I can to help the tank recover (Admittedly my husbandry has dropped off also and I have not been doing regular waterchanges as I probably should). Prior to storing it for extended periods of time, I was buying it at a local shop that I lived 5 mins from at the time, every week or 2 and doing the water changes almost every week.
I'm wanting to lift my husbandry, but with the dino issues I've been having water changes haven't really been on the cards much either...
