Salt Group Buy: Crystal Sea Marine Mix

Opinions vary on how much water you switch out. Some say 20% per month and some say 20% a week. It all depends on what you are going to keep and your expectations of water quality. I tend to do 10% every week.

To make this easy, you should set up a mixing station or something so that all you have to do is dump the right amount of salt into pre made ro water and let the pump mix it then pump it to your sump.

If I were you I would start out with two boxes and you will be good for a while.
Again, just my opinion on what others seem to be doing and how I do it.
 
Anyone who lives on the way North suburbs. I live in Round Lake and I have to go see tangstank so i can pick up your boxes and we can meet up around there if that makes it easier for any of you.
 
The salt is scheduled to be delivered. Details regarding the location & pick up time is PM'd to you.

If you have any questions, please get back to me.

Is that the entire pallett? I was still hoping to buy some after it is tested for Cal and Mg. If not I can wait for the next one.
 
Shaun,

It was a pleasure to meet all you guys. Shaun thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Just remember everyone always carry a tube of super glue with you, you just never know. L.O.L.
 
My procrastinating bad habit & forgot to say Thanks. Sorry for the delay.

This was the most amazing Group Buy. Not a single person dropped out from commitment. It was a great plesure to meet each one of you.

I'm glad I made some Good friends through this Group buy :beer:
 
Shaun, Thank you! I will be doing a WC this week with CSMM only. Already did my two mixes with RC.

So far no issue!
 
It's all gone. I was hoping to hang on to a few more boxes than what I have currently, but every single person who committed to buy came through with this.

Kudos to a great reefers. It's amazing how well a trust is respected.
 
i just used a whole box in my new 150... :) it mixed very well... i will see how corals thrive in it... but so far, some of you have been using it without a problem.. :)

oh it was also nice to meet some of the people here... and Shaun... very nice setup.. now i want a bigger tank... oh and APEX... :)
