You know why you cannot become a sponsor. You are a "box"! Forgot the africaans word for box.

Now, this is the best example of using RO water and salt, from SunnyX.
It inspired me to use bacteria and carbon. Can I get the same result using NSW?
Seabass - again i must stress it depends where you get nsw from there are areas of ocean which have no coral reefs , while this is temp dependent , the nutrient levels also differ,if you do frequent water changes then you may approximate local conditions but not have the right nutrient profile for a tropical coral reef
09/08/2011 NSW test
Sea temp a whacking 16 degrees.
SG 1.024, same reading from two separate hydrometers. So I am happy with a consistent reading.
Now to the testing, added 1lt NSW to a water bottle and added it to the sump to bring temperature up to 23 degrees before I did the following tests:
8, thought it would be lower
Mg 1140 ppm, this seems very low
Ca 380 ppm, also low
Ph 7.4, strange, would have expected a higher reading
No3 0-2, slight bit of pink, so not zero
Po4 0 this has restored my trust in saliferts Po4 test kit
From this little test, should I be happy with the source of NSW, just flipping cold.
