OK so heres my question. Trying to talk my wife into mixing some salt up for me this morning so when I get home this afternoon it will have been mixing for a while and ready to add. I just want to know how much WATER an instant ocean salt bucket will hold. I think they are 7-10 gallons, but am unsure. Had a minor issue where apparently sometime in the morning my breaker blew that has all my tanks on it. Water siphoned from my return line (because I didn't buy a check valve yet to install on it because I thought hey I won't lose power the first night... yep stupid I know) to the sump and overflowed probably 4-5 gallons maybe more onto the basement floor. Luckily the tank stand is the only thing that could be damaged the rest is just concrete and a drain nearby so it wasn't a huge problem and since I caught it at 7AM the tank wasn't running without flow or heat for more than 4 or 5 hours (I'm guessing it went out sometime in the morning via how full my skimmer cup was, still just a guess). Anyways I want to tell her approx how much salt to add to the bucket and would help to know how much water one of the Instant ocean salt buckets will hold( the one that makes 160 gallons of salt water). All help appreciated!
Also wondering if such a thing exists barbed (for connecting vinyl tubing) check valve in 1" size. Something like the spears pvc check valves sold on BRS but for connecting vinyl tubing. Thanks everyone!
