UCSB Santa Barbara NSW Natural Sea Water...
- Thread starter boarder
- Start date
Hey Danny,
I borrowed Bill's 150 G container and made a couple of runs.
Had a filter break last week and pumped out about 300G of water before I could get it isolated. Had to do a emergency water change.
I wound up using Bill's 150 and 4 trashcans for one run which gave me about 350G of water.
I found a place on Ebay that sells water containers cheap. They are located in Fontana. 275G food grade container for 200 bucks.
I've got some fresh water sitting at home if some one wants to test it for Po4. I don't have a test kit for PO4.

This can't help the water quality!!
This can't help the water quality!!
My boys came home from UCSB this weekend and we had a discussion about the viral nature of the internet and how things can just take off. The example they gave was UCSB's Floatopia, a beach party which exploded in popularity the last few years due to Facebook. This years event took place at the beginning of Spring quarter which basically was a beach party on Isla Vista with wall to wall party goers drinking and peeing in the ocean.
Hmmm..... maybe that's why the NSW at UCSB has been kind of funky lately!!

Probably, but we'll never know the ecological impact of 12000 party goers on the beach, can't be good.
FWIW, my post was tongue in cheek...I have used the water and have no issues with it. In fact, it has helped my tank rebound from its periodic "down" cycles when it was not looking too good.

i have been using the water since i set up my tank. i am still having PO4 problems and even when my PO4 levels are low i can't keep most acros alive.
who is using it exclusively in their successful SPS tank?
Ian is your tank still way better after switching away from the NSW?

It's all about the flow
I've stopped using it because of it's always different depending on weather and time of year. I am mixing water and am very happy with the results. For the people who have very large systems; Have you tried running gfo on the water before you use it for a wc? I don't know of any nsw sps tanks locally.
