What is the best temperature range for mixing new saltwater.
How long should newly mixed saltwater be allowed to stabilize before using it in our systems, presumably while still being mixed by an in-situ pump? Or better, on what measurable criteria should we decide a new batch of saltwater is ready for use? Does this vary by whether the aquarium is Fish Only , Fish Only With Live Rock, Coral Reef Only, or Mixed Marine Reef?
What are the drawbacks for mixing new saltwater outside of these temperatures and times before usage?
And a huge thank you for all the mythbusting you have so ably done for us aquarist out here in tanklandia.
