Water Change Prep

[Trigger Man]

I used to make ro water and then add salt 24 h later, and then leave the buckets covered for anywhere from 7-14 days with no ph going and had no problems. I now make the ro water, let it stand for around 24 hours and then add the salt and proceed to do a waterchange around 1 day later (no ph), and have not had any problems.

yeah I'd rather not use a ph for such a small amount of water. I use one to help mix the salt when I first put it in but if I had to leave it running all week I'd rather just mix up the water just before each water change

I doubt the PH I keep running is more than 15 watts, likely a lot less...a mere drop in the bucket of my allready spectacular hydro bill
