Ditto, I also keep mine aerated to raise the ph.

Does it count if I mix the water and then age it until I'm ready to get off my lazy bum to do the water change?

:P

I usually let it mix for 10-24hrs. If I forget to do it saturday I'll do it sunday morning and do the water change sunday night otherwise I do it some time saturday then change water sunday. I guess instant ocean really isn't instant.

I use a purley h2o RO/DI unit.
