Haha.. i just added the fish food instead of using market prawn. CNY is coming, doesn't want the house to be smelly. Anyway, i went to AM yesterday to get the items.

SRC Member onizukaa Posted February 9, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2010 hi bro, may i noe the reason y to store for at least 24hrs? wanna learn more bout it..thks bro if i say it correctly, is to really dissolve all the salt ==> sea water if you mix for few hours and just pour it in,some undissolved salt will burn the corals <=== not sure where i read from i maybe wrong. i always play safe to mix the salt and circulate min 1 day before doing water change.

jackywongto Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 was told previously - that was to let the water params stabilize over the night.

phuakl Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 haha thks for all the replies bro..nxt time will try n compare the difference How long can the mix salt water last? I mean without any air pump in it. I am kind of lazy. Instead of mixing the salt water every week, i will make a big pail of it and pour into the Jerry Cans. Anyway, does anyone know where can i get a Jerry can. Around 8- 10 litres type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
