how much fresh water....
Can you fit in a 45 gal tank?
well seams to be a bad season for me and my tanks, I had the 45 gal tank set up in the garage to cure new rock for my tank and last night I decided it was down a couple inches so I needed to add some water. I turned on the RO ... and did you know they don't shut off by themselves? who forgot to invent that feature in anyways??  anyhow by my calculation I added 91 gal of salt water to the tank while I slept only to find that when I went to get dressed up for the motor bike ride to work my feet were sloshing in 1/2" of water . soooooooo I checked the salinity and just my luck it read 1.000 so I added a bunch of salt before I went to work and that made it 1.013 and added more when I got home, took it up to 1.019. I just added some more so that should get it up to about 1.024 then I can fine tune it tomorrow.My question is how long can rock handle fresh water before the pods/worms all die? I am not worried about the bacteria as there will be plenty of that deep in the rock that will survive. I tell you not my two months. Steve
