SRC Member james72 Posted April 22, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 22, 2014 Distilled water salt mix right from the start. NSW might have some phosphate that will absorb into the live rocks n cause algae growth later. That's my personal experience, may not apply to all nsw source.

Wolfyie Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I bought mine from ah beng. Lucky stay ground floor. But had to buy like 20 bags. I think still short. Would have been better to mix with ro/di water. But I don't have the until yet. Mixing better. Less unwanted stuff in the water.
