Good test kit

I'll think I'll start mixing my own anyway. Its always good to KNOW what's going into my water and all

If your going reef I would raise it

Ok I'll do that. I think I'll aim for 1.024 so its higher but not so different from his. Does that sound good?

 

[KAhner]

I try and maintain 1.025. And never let it get above 1.026 before topping off. I really need a ato. Lol. But u should be fine with that as long as you get your desired levels. You should with quality salt.

I need an ato too! I think im going to make one, i found a thread about a way easy one to make. I'll try to find it again

What are some good salt mixes?

 

[KAhner]

Instant ocean reef crystals is probably the most popular. But there are more and more high quality salts nowadays. Shop around though. Petco by my house sells reef crystals for $80 a bucket. Online it's $54 for a 160g bucket, and $55 for a 200g box at marinedepot.com. Ive seen it's as low as $60 at a lfs by my house.

Ok I will look around for sure
