So I'm pricing up my new marine aquarium and the salt itself is very expensive where I live.
I've been lead to believe using water from the ocean is common and a successful option.
I live in New Zealand so the water quality is good albeit a but cold. But I can heat the before using it no problem.
Other than adjusting the salinity (if required) in principal it seems like a great option.
Can anyone add any thoughts to this? who has tried it? is it really common and effective?
Cheers
