Ok. Im reading the book Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner
And I get to a page where it talks about salt mixing and water and all that fun stuff.
Well anyway he says that aquarist should put the salt creep back INTO the tank. just making sure it does not land on an invert. Well I found that strange because in another book that I read back when i started saltwater The New Marine Aquarium by Michael S Paletta said to NOT add this salt to the tank and to just collect it and remove it.
Paletta's justification i belive had to do with the salt having the ability to burn fish and inverts if added directly to the tank and putting salt creep back into the tank your effectivly adding salt mix into the tank.
Fenner seems to contradict himself cause he says salt shold be mixed in a seperate contaner and let to airate/mix for atleast 24hrs but better for a longer period. Yet advocates adding the salt creep (basicly salt mix that has been reconstuted) directly into the tank.
Whats everyones view on this? Peronslly I perfer Paletta's view on this aspect.
