Water mix questions.

[Demonkegman]

I (still being new here and don't know all the secret codes and specific names) would like to know how you guys with big tanks, over 150 gals, get/make/buy your water? I use the salt water at my LFS and mix it with conditioned tap water 50/50%. is there a better way that WONT give me so much algae growth on my glass? I can't go and buy just perfect salt water(like ocean water) because I don't have 20 of those water jugs lol. only 10, enough to buy the salt water and mix it... Am I completely in the dark with an easier way to do this? :yield:

3. use a reactor!
4. do you have a large skimmer?
5. keep asking questions!

so everytime i water change, let's say every 2 weeks for fun.. 200 Gal tank... let's say I do 50 gal change. I need 5, 5 gal jugs of salt water. and 5, 5 gal jugs of bottled water? seems so dang hard.. am I being ignorant hahaha or this is the way it is.. I was told by my LFS global aquatics, that tap water with conditioner is ok.. and free!!!
