GBOY & NUNU 66g RedSea MAX sw build!!

Wait i think he is making fun of us!! Haha jk my mom says i have a bowl cut, but its NOT true

 

24 between each reading?? Dang..

 

I take about a gallon or two out of my tank and add the salt to that so I don't have wait for the water to heat up to get an accurate reading. Also by doing this, i don't have to pull water out to have enough room to put the new water in. I have maybe a gallon of evap a week right now, so not very much at all.

So what is the sg of the new water you create?

 

Honestly I have never checked. Probably not a good idea I guess. I just know that adding 1/2 cup of salt to my system will raise my sg 0.001. If my sg is 1.023, then adding 1/2 cup of salt will raise it to 1.024 in my tank with my total water volume. It is different for evey system of course. It is a trl and error kind of thing. You just have to find what works for you and your tank, but just raise it slowly.

What size tank is it?

 

40g

 

Wait, smitty you add it directly to the tank?

 

I have a 40 gallon tank, but displacement from the live rock and sand I would say that I have around 35 gallons of water roughly. Could be less I guess. I have 40 - 45 pounds of live rock and around 40 pounds of sand.

now that i have my sump, i dont have any problems with salinity. i know exactly how much to put in because of the evaporation line on the last section.
