6 points in the TDS meter for aquarium water is ok or high ?

with a hose and a knot . slowly dosing .

Carbon use is good for Corals and it makes the water more clear but it obsorbs additives if its in the water when adding , and anywhere with a medium-high flow is good . the more water contact the faster obsorbment . some even put carbon in media reactors .

my alk is 11 and i added cal and mag and stro so all of them are high with the same ratios . ill post a pic .

skimmers should be in the first part after the wool or filter sock part and sump counts as your total aquarium volume so put as much as water in there as you can , sumps are basicly your own taste in filterration and there are some rules but overall its all up to you .

how can i make 250G sal mixes every week ? i dont have the room . and salt here is very expensive . its 6 times the prize of in the US . i think i should go with chemichals and changing my reactor medias and 15% water changes . salt the one of the most expensive parts of the hobby here if you...
