Mixing H2Ocean

[hound96]

i always mix mine a half cup at a time i'm still at the 5 gallon pail phase cuz i keep finding other things to buy instead of a mix bin but so far it works out to aprox. 2 and 7/8 cups per pail

It will depend how much you mix to what your elevation is.

Here I take a IO pail (6 gallons) and I add 2 cups of salt. Mixed to 1.026 at 78 degrees every time.

i guessi forgot to add that part bahh, any way my water is mixed at 77-78F and the gravity is 1.024

2 cups per 5 gallons has always got me really close....

i would stay away from h2ocean-i was using it and cyano grew everywhere-including in my phyto reactors-switched away from it and almost no cyano

I second this

lesson number one... NEVER follow the directions!

Follow your gut, or your heart, and 9 times outta 10 you are right. As long as you never doubt yourself, you will always be closer then if you really tried your best...

With that being said, I mix a cup and a half of h2ocean with 5 galons of water and always come out about 024 and that works good for me cause of evaporation... situation always dictates...

sorry about the spelling...

I use this salt without issues.

I used it for a year and a half without cyano. My tank si gorgeous. Happy, colorful corals - SPS, LPS, Zoas. I think it is a good quality salt. Not sure why some have problems, but it also depends on what else you are doing, ie: balling, dosing, supplementing, etc.
