Legal estou pensando em usar o red sea coral pro salt ou o aquaforest, esse video me esclareceu duvidas que eu tinha obrigado

[leechadwick]

I use Red Sea salt and many times, I’ve left 100L barrel with a pump running overnight before doing a water change and it’s never caused any problems for me.

I use the coral pro salt....let it mix for 10 mins then i chuck it in

@Red Sea I'm setting up a brand new tank with your coral pro black bucket and am going to transition all my livestock to my larger Aquarium. I don't have enough containers around to mix up all the water batches to just dump into the tank. Is there going to be any issue if I just add RO water and then start adding salt to the new tank and then bring the temperature up at my set salinity? Then I will be adding the substrate and live rock from my smaller established tank. Am I going to end up having precipitation all over the glass?

Why there is no seal on coral pro 22kg bucket

Is there measuring cup in the pack.

I'm thinking of getting a marine tank I'm changing from tropical I think I've got a good idea of what it's like to own and look after a marine tank but I'm also afraid it will be to much maintenance and will be very hard.

If i use coral pro salt for lps and soft corals only would i need to dose or just weekly water changes will be fine?

[ldballoon]

Great salt. A caveat for you...
Room temp between 68-76F. That equates your RO/DI water needs to be at 68F, or less, for PROPER mixing and then gradually mixed for up to two hours. However, if the salt is mixed into a make up conainer with higher temps recommended, chemistry will be affected. Hence possibly some users of this salt may have season challenges .

So I mix 10L at 38.2G per 1L as the bucket says. I'm aiming for 35pp. But its coming up as 40 on the refractometer. Straight after calibrating.

How much Red Sea Coral Pro Salt I need to use for 5 gallons bucket? Thanks??

[rrcompton]

I’m mixing Red Sea salt (blue bucket) in a 5 gallon bucket. I have an extra maxi jet 1200. Is that too much power to mix in such a small bucket, I read not to over mix Red Sea salt.

[billybilly]

I've tried everything, followed the instructions carefully yet cannot stop the white residual all over the sides and bottom of the bucket. He states it's okay yet when I use it forms an almost cement type coating all over my sump and some of my equipment that if left alone can be very difficult to remove.

[lukejsmodels]

I just got my bucket but the bag broke, should i store it in the blue bucket provided??

[danielcassar]

I have a question about temperature. Where i live it gets very hot during summer and my rodi water tends to be quite warm (around 33degrees). Shall I cool it to below 20 before adding the salt?

[gregorysettle]

how much salt mix do I added to each gallon of water?

[calikush]

I'm total noob but I would like to make mini Coral aquarium.. how do I mix this salt and do I mix it with distilled water?

[Jaaaaayyy]

I always try to have 20-30 gallons of mixed saltwater on hand incase of emergency, crazy that you can only store this salt for 7 days, I’m curious how much alk loss after the 7 days . I just switched to this salt for less dosing but knowing this I may want to go back to dosing and change do a different salt.

[vintageaudiotorres]

Can Red Sea salt be mixed and stored for 30days plus?

[gregboren]

How much salt should I use per gallon of water

[joannacasillas]

So am I understanding that it is not necessary to use RO/DI water and RO water will suffice? Is there any recommendation one way or the other?
