    HAS ANYONE USED ELOS SALT?

    Just got a box of ELOS salt mix from a buddy of mine on a trade. Has anyone here used it? And I’m having a problem finding any in the USA. I have seen online it should be some top tier salt but don’t want to start using it if I can’t get more. Thanks in advance for any info.

    Mixed salt water problem-Where did the salt go??

    My usual routine is to run about 30-32 gallons of RODI for my water change, and I mix my salt overnight. I use Red Sea Coral Pro and have never had a problem. I realize instructions say not to mix more than 2 hours, but by aerating it overnight I’ve had better luck with a stable reading. I’ve...

    Salt mixing mistake - Double salinity

    Hi guys, I am in the process of filling up my tank for the first time. I managed to produce around 100 liters of RODI water (it's pretty slow) into a 140-liter container.

    So im about to add in my Arag-alive sand and then add in my saltwater, I just have a few questions: 1. I only have 10 gallons of saltwater made (about 40% of what the tank needs) will that affect the live sand? 2. I'm pretty sure I am supposed to put in the return pump and heater before adding...

    I am thinking about switching to IO or RC for the money saving benefits. However, almost all the testing and reviews of Instant Ocean salt out there are based on the one produced in the US. I recently realised the stuff we get in the UK has the same name but it's manufactured in France by...
