Hmmmm

Most salt will come with ratio of salt to water .. See picture below , do a bit of maths and you'll get the required amount of salt for the amount of water you want to mix.

Best and most effective way is to get a good nutrient export system ( biopallets and GFO combo , good well grown refugrium , algae scrubber etc etc) and patience.

You will need a calibrated refractometer or a calibrated hydrometer , but it is not recomended to use tap water (straight from the tap) , however if the tap water was treated with RODi or Seachem prime then it's good. Or you could just buy distilled water from the supermarket and so the mix.

Nice!!!! Those Sps colonies are looking good !

It has been said , when mixing saltmix it is best to add salt to the water instead of adding water to the salt ... Sounds same but totally different. When water is added to salt especially if poured slowly , the chances of over saturation is high and this may cause precipitation , the first thing to precipitate is calcium n magnesium, this will explain the cloudy water (case of the wet salt mix). As for the clumping of salt , it may be caused by moisture getting into the bucket but that should be minimal and if the salt mix well without cloudy water or overly excessive precipitate , then it would be ok to use.

I'm not really sure what it is, could be a baby button ,scolly or prata . It's a small piece just bigger than a 50c coin. Caught it at pasir ris farmway.

Caught something new few days ago.

I think the problem is , you started dosing A and B , without knowing what they were and did not do test to see if you even needed to dose them.

that's good news.. Do share the result

Test with salifert testkits some say they are good ,

How much you dose depends on how much the solution A and B is used up if your tank inhabitant uses up certain amount of solution A per day then the dosing should be set to dose the same amount throughout the day. same goes to solution B . now the question is , how much solution A and B your tank is using per day? do a test with reliable test kits and find out.

CCK crescent , give
