Hello all.Have had a 75 up and running for about 10 months. I have just started using NSW for changes(afterall we're surrounded by it!!!) The results have been great. Only have some soft corals and just venturing into that area. But the NSW is the way to go. No more salt for me. The tank just appears more vibrant. I advocate waterchanges big time, however I do 20% bi-weekly or so. Hello to all newfs here, we need more stores lol. I go on reefcentral often and kkinda forgot about joining here lol. Cheers

*sigh* to live near a source of NSW. I once brought 4 litres of it home from BC in two pop bottles, but taking in to account the plane ticket and the fuel the plane burned to fly it over the mountains, it was probably the most expensive 4% water change I've ever done.

I'm trying to cut back but I still use about two buckets of salt ever three months. I mostly do micro water changes when I get rid of frags and larger ones when I need to fill my QT tank.
