kevin brocato Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 The guy at my LFS says instead of mixing up a gallon of fresh saltwater for water changes to mix up a bigger 5 gallon sealed container and keep it on hand for water changes. What do ya'll think? Will the water get stagnant or lose Ph? Link to comment

CO2 levels and ph drop is always a factor as well as the decline of active buffering compounds in the artificial seawater mix. you CAN mix it up to have it, but uunless you airate it before use, you could have some hydroxide issues and the ph can drop in your main tank and even strip the buffers in your reef to try and raise the PH and Alk of the stored water you are adding as it is Oxygen deprived HTH Link to comment
kevin brocato Posted March 5, 2003 Author Share Posted March 5, 2003 Thanks. I think I will mix it every week. This has been working well so far! I love your NanoBoobs! Link to comment
