Brad eluded to the same idea earlier You're gonna make me eat my words, aren't ya ? ![]() When I was testing IO NSW with higher readings, I thought it would be enough to replenish my DT through WCs Then these out of whack readings crammed a stick in my spokes ... I am considering returning the newest unopened bucket of IO I have and getting into something like the IO Reef Crystals FYI, I hadn't planned on packing so much money into it this quickly so I bought the 'economy' salt I'll blame tang daddy and Bblinks for getting me into SPS right away ![]() Don't get me wrong though as we are loving all the color and, so far, I haven't killed anything ![]() |

As I said earlier, I'll re-test tomorrow before I use it and report whatever readings I find So much for user technique ... I'm starting to feel like it's 'loser' technique ![]() |

Yes for those that want or have the skill to play chemist IO will work. I'm with you, I'm not much for mucking at this point in the game |

I know where this is going as I see I may not have to dose right now, so less cost there, and less time etc Maybe I'll be able to spend more time gawking the tank instead of the vials ![]() It'll be a new learning curve for me with new salt ... getting used to the tank's params again |

![]() Try this for 6 months. buy the RBS salt. Mix it to 1.026 and the proper temp, and change 25g every other week. Buy a case of beer or a bottle of your favorite beverage, pull up a chair, and just chill in front of the tank for a while. Enjoy the drink. Let the sounds put you to sleep. Do not test stuff. Lock your kits away and just enjoy the tank. Add a coral here or there. Watch the snails crawl around. Do.Not.Test. This is supposed to be relaxing....

![]() It's always nice to have some input that tells me to JUST SLOW DOWN and try enjoy it ![]() I'm going to go with Brad's and jorjef's advice for a different kind of salt The only thing I will do is test once every new bucket and I will test my tank once in awhile to see that there is some semblance of balance going on ![]() And you're right about enjoying it .. I've been spending far too much time messing around and nowhere near enough just staring ... |
