Hello everyone I have a couple questions that I hope you guyes can
awnser. Well I have a 100 gallon FOWLR tank with a Rena XP3 filter, 2 Aquaclear 70 powerheads, Seaclone protein skimmer, 2 submerisable heaters (marineland). And here are my questions:
Whats the best way to mix up the salt mix. Like I am clueless how to put it in without tons of cloudyness. I added salt to my 30 gallon quarenteen tank first couple cups at a time and mixed and then mesured it but it is cloudy. I has been cloudy for a week and a half so I dont think "wait for it, it will go away will work out very well. So I need your best way of mixing salt into aquarium.
Another question that I have is this...I can't exactically explain it but im going to try my best. I mixed my salt up and added the water and I had a perfect Specific Gravity of 1.0240. I drew a line of where the water is for that perfect mix. And people always told me just to top it up to that line every day that it is down and that reading should come up about the same everytime. Well it is usually off to some degree and I was wondering whats the right way to keep your SG and Salinity levels constent in your tank. The tank always stays at a temp of 75 F with no flucuations and the salt is completly disolved.
So at this point im clueless so I hope you guys (or girls) can help me out with these questions before I cycle my tank. It would really help me out so thanks a mill in advance. And happy fish keeping.
