Mixing TMP salt...

jasond · #1 02-01-2008, 04:05 AM

I picked up a bucket of TMP salt today, as I have decided to switch from IO. Question is, it says on the container that after it is dissolved, it is ready to be added to the tank. I know most people wait atleast 24 hours, should I still be letting it sit, or is it safe to use straight away?

Thanks for any input!

well i use TMP for a year now and i usually mix it up pretty good and after its all dissolved i use it almost right away. Never had any adverse affect yet.

Cool, thanks. I remember seeing a poll a while back with everyone doing something different. How do you like the TMP so far, I guess because you havent switched it cant be too bad?

Works for me. I do try and wait a day most of the time, but for the first 5months i didnt even bother cuz i didnt have an extra powerhead and heater to let it do its thing... I do want to try that new salt from germany.. forgot the name but for $100 a box umm... well i cant afford that, haha.

Thanks. I think you are thinking of the Zeo salt. That stuff is pricey, but apparently pretty good. I will give this stuff a shot, it should last me a while!

Just mixed up a batch of KZ RBS the other day. I'll follow up with my impressions over the next couple of weeks.

One really quick comment I have though, the stuff mixes clear in under ten minutes and everything test PERFECT, including potassium.
