Yes and no... it's better in some ways (being the "real" thing), but there is some risk of introducing things (pests, etc.) you don't want. I would use a UV sterilizer... or perhaps just a diatom filter to remove larvae, "bugs," etc. On the other hand, some of that stuff (microplankton) might actually serve as quality food for your corals and other tank life. So how's this for a vague answer, huh? I would say it's "safe" but has some risks you could likely manage with additional care/filtration.good day Sara
is the use of natural seawater safe for saltwater tank use instead of the synthetic salt mixes?
so rather keep an eye on the weather and only collect when the conditions are rightThe problem with NSW is the unpredictable quality of the water, after heavy rains etc.
Exactly what i do.and i use it in under an hour after collecting to allow minimal die off.so rather keep an eye on the weather and only collect when the conditions are right
As long as you collect from a beach where the water sparkles and theres no Storm water pipes.so i guess i will start of with nsw, this means more time at the beach![]()
