There you go again.
Please do yourself a favor! don't comment anymore on a subject that you
know little about...
Listen, read something about BOD5 and TSS and P and N contents on standing
water. Over-the-top levels on either one that will ocurr after plankton's
death and anaerobic bacteria reproduction. Adding a long standing ocean
water to a living aquarium will be like hooking up the exhaust system of
your car to the A/C duct.
I thought you weren't refering to ocean water but to mixed water in your
replies wich is the reason you said that... "The tytle of the thread does
not limit the subject of the discussion."
You see, please stick to those topics you know something about, leave water
chemistry or bio-chemistry to those of us that went to college.

Salt water, whether it be a comercial mix, or sea water, can be stored as
long as you want. It does not go bad. Naturaly sea water has plankton in
it that will die, and add amonia and nitrite, but the salt water itself
will not go bad, so there is no time limit as to when you have to use the
salt. you can store it for years if you want to.

Page 62. I have the book but he doesn't say how long you can safely store
it.

Runoff from farmland is one of the biggest pollutants there is. Hope you're not
getting that water from close by.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

No, 3 hour's drive away. No farms nearby as it's all sand, nothing much
grows there.

We use no chemicals here but I have to use the local creek water for my
freshwater fish and I dread to think what goes into the water upstream
from us. Some of us farmers do try to be responsible. We pump water to
troughs for the cattle to avoid them walking into the creek for drinks
but we can't afford to fence it all off, we have about 5km of creek.
