I think you need to swap the 'a' and the 'r' around.

 

[klondike4001]

[jnarowe]

nice job. that's good salt IMO. don't forget to test!

 

[shag26272]

dont forget to add water.

You should buy in bulk to help save $$$$$....

 

[dustinP]

do you not consider buying 16 buckets of salt buying in bulk?

 

[jnarowe]

:lol: to most people! This salt actually does come in bulk bags, but it can be hard to find.

 

[dillagas]

Yeah at my LFS the 300 gallon bags are around $100 usually a much cheaper way to go.......

 

[Arnar]

Filled the tank up again today as well as installing the Tunze powerheads and clipping on the T5 mirrors.

Tomorrow will be day 1 of the CCP saltwater aquarium when we pour the salt in


Ps... also wanted to thank Rich from Saltysupplies for helping me out with my salt problems and shipping over 400kilos

 

[jnarowe]

Kudos to Rich!

You can check out the webcam here. Note that there are a lot of small bubbles in the tank at the moment that I will fix after the weekend.
