Real Ocean Water?

[Nathan4Wvu]

Did a water change today and thought i would try somthing a little different. I got some real ocean water they sell it at petco it 9.99 for 5 gal.

NO synthetics phoshate free nitrate free perfect ph 8.3

Its bottled by the catalina water comany of long beach CA

Just wondering if any one had any experance with this kinda stuff???
Hope its good this would be alot easyer then mixing and buying salt just get one of them a month!!

No but keep us posted with any changes!

Its only 9$ a month thats like $.33 a day only do one water change every month or so. So its better for me to not have a back of salt around getting crusty also its soposed to be way healthyier for the fish

hmmmm sounds like a scam to me but you never know.

I don't think its scam i have this same thread posted in another forum. People that have used it say they have had great results. Also did some web research and its used by alot of public aquariums.

I always err on the saying "paper can't refuse ink" I hope it works for you but thats still not cheap, even broken down into daily price, figure out cost per day of r.o. and Instant ocean used by a vast larger amount of public aquariums and myself with great results.
