Do you have a pump in your WC/Backup SW mix

[Puffalicious]

I've had this question stuck in my head and I've seen different answers.

I took out my pump 2 weeks ago from my saltwater mix container. Is it still good? I personally have used water that's been stagnant for 1 week and have seen no negative effects.

Is it necessary to put a pump? why/why not?

Stagnant water means less O2.

Stagnant water means less O2.

not inherently. What it really means is less rapid gas exchange. in pure water it's really unimportant once it's mixed up and stable IME.

in the new saltwater 55g container for water changes, i have: a nano koralia for water circulation and an airline for aeration.

Yes I keep a powerhead in my mixing barrel running all the time. In case of any emergency I will have saltwater ready. I only do a water change once every 2 week also.

I think but im not sure that your water after 2 weeks is still good though with no water movement....

I keep a small one in my mixing barrels as it aids with elevating oxygen levels and Ph.
