The float started leaking in my mix station yesterday. The more complex the system the more potential for problems.It has been pretty bulletproof for a long time.
I was doing a daily auto water change and switch back to a weekly after being advised by the manufacture of the salt that I use, it is best to mix and use fresh mixed salt wate
same hearI have a semi-automatic water change. I have to turn a few ball valves and a 25 gallon water change takes 10 minutes.
I believe the benefit is the minerals the fresh SW provides not so much the removal of actual water. Now its occurred to me that Nutrients would really need to be watched closely.I don't understand this. If You change 8 gallons over a 9 hour period. (just an example) Don't You end up removing an amount of the new water also? I'm missing something & curious about this for quit sometime.
I have noticed that my water changes from the mix-sta. do not perk up the tank like fresh mixed had. I have been mixing fresh with leftover SW and seems to be close but still no Cegar. Im still going to set up a AWC on the new system, I am looking for convenience and freeing up TIME. I am now thinking I may have to experiment with salt brands.
