Rod, do you dose CA/Alk between water changes?
Or you rely on Ca/Alk levels in the salt mix entirely?
If you dose them anyway, like I think you do, why is it so important?


Its much easier to maintain levels when im not starting off "in the hole" to
begin with. Why work harder to maintain the levels when I can start off an NSW
levels. (not to re mention the other benifets of oceanic)



This last one could be a good thing...
Especially if you do not use up whole bucket at once.
The rest of salt remains sealed for the time you use it.

if I am only mixing 25 gal, I can reseal the remaining 175 gals worth in the
bucket. if its in th ebags, I have 3 sealed bags, and another that is not
sealed. Besided I like th ebuckets for other uses ;-).

Why do you think it is bad thing? I would like it...
Anyway, I heard IO is now in 150 gallons mix buckets.
Am I wrong or they stop making 200 g mix buckets?

I am pretty sure that they are 160 gal mix, but will cost as much as the 200
gal mix that comes in a box.
