Ok, i have had a tank for a few years now and at first, I was quite diligent about taking measurements every week for about the first year. Then it got to the point where nothing ever changed so I just kept doing water changes and everything was great. Now, I want to start a bigger tank and I want to better understand the minutia about what is going on.... =)
I typically use red sea coral pro mix and on the directions, it says not to mix the salt for more than 4 hours.... why?
How does everyone keep a salt water reservoir for emergencies or more efficient water changes if you can't keep it around?
I tried keeping mixed salt water in jugs once and it started depositing minerals the walls of the container.
Thanks for your help!
