Jewel Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Yes, i do that. I put anti- chlorine and mix with salt. Air bubble over 1 nite after the salt sediments settled down, then i do water change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member cutebarra77 Posted December 25, 2019 SRC Member Share Posted December 25, 2019 My own experience does not mean will work for everyone. But sharing is no harm.I used tap water since day 1 for my soft and LPS tank. Also dosed anti chlorine and use a cheap wave maker to mix the salt mix. This is done usually one day before the water change day.So far so good for the last 8 months. Just minor algae growth which I think is because of the daily feeding routine which comprises 4 cubes of mysis and pellets.Only nutrient export option used is a 24 by 7 hr Chaeto based refugium.Also have a strong team of about 50 snails which every night graze the algae.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
