My water change method is turning on a pump to drain saltwater and once that’s completed, scooping salt into a highly turbulent area of the sump (in a bucket that my display drains into). It’s pretty simple. Depending on the size of the water change, I typically put anywhere from 10-20 scoops (3/4 cup).
To battle nitrates, I recently put a whole bunch of live rock in the sump along with filling that same bucket with sand. It’s pretty nice since the water drain keeps the sand constantly moving and I also stir it up weekly.
When I scoop that salt into the bucket with sand, am I killing all the bacteria in it or should it be fine?
