Dunno if appropriate to post here, mods pls move if it's not..

Last time used to collect natural sea water from Changi Beach, Kallang River etc..instead of using salt mix.

One of the condition is to wait for high tide as the water is much cleaner.

Then the water kept inside jerrycans will be left running with airpump for 24hrs or more without any light to kill parasites. It is then filtered into the sump tank to filter out as much dirt as possible.

The only way to know the tiding is through internet site like this:

This reading will benefit anyone who are using NSW as well.

clear but must watch out for oil also. If the water surface oily then shouldn't take. Those are oils from powerboats, all the more from punggol marina nearby.

Anyway, taking seawater from the sea is not an offence.

I highly doubt that churning seawater using an air pump with the lights out is going to kill any parasites.

tat's what I doubt now, after reading abt uv lighting. But it was not available or rather I cannot find it available locally yrs ago.

the water does work, although it is dirty & my fishes suffered from ich very often as I recalled.
