    Increasing salinity

    in Emergency Discussion

    Posted

    Go to Aquatek or someplace and buy a Refractometer. Not as accurate as a "Probe" but pretty darn good. Your "estimate" isn't bad. Most salt calls for 1/2 cup per 1 gallon of water or 2.5c per 5 gallons of H2O. That should give you a salinity of 1.021-1.023. Actually, it's good to know when you buy items what the sality of the water is that they came from.

    In any regard, always put your new items in a 5 gallon bucket and "DRIP" your tank water into the water that came with the products that you purchased so that the water at minimum, doubles in volume. This will acclimate the new inhabitants to the conditions that you are placing them in. If you leave them alone, eventually they will acclimate even with a slight difference. All this rigamaro about salinity needing to be 1.025 is horse pucky! No two seas are the same. My 225 gallon hovers at about 1.023 and a DkH of 8 (most will tell you 10 is where it should be!).

    Just tossing this out there to promote my 11 year old daughter, Gina Marie Osmar.

    She's looking to join a band. Not some "kids" band but a professional band. She has been playing Semi-Professionally since the age of 7! Has endorsements from local bands as well as Chris Blackwell of Robert Plant's band, Sheila E, and Cora Dunham of Prince.

    She was recently signed to a 2 year contract as an "Artist Endorser" for Soultone Cymbals and has her own line as well.

    You can check her out (become a fan) on:

    Chime in!

    UPDATE: It's been one month since 86'ing my Metal Halide lights. No ill effects whatsoever! Now for the good part....Where my chiller used to turn on all the time to keep the water temperature down...averaging 82t-84 during peak heat days (Chiller was set for 81) The current temperature has never varied more than 1 degree with NO CHILLER USE AT ALL! Current temperature readings are a consistant 79.5 - 80.5 degrees!
