Hi everyone,
Was hoping you could help me with a couple of questions…
1- I typically filter about 5 gallons of top-off water and keep it in a big Kent Marine Salt bucket and it last me about a week or two… My question is should I keep it covered or uncovered? And if dust collects in it should I discard the water and make some fresh water?
2 - I user PC lighting and I was wondering how long I can safely go before replacing the bulbs. I know the manufactures tell you to change the bulbs about ever year, but I was wondering how far you could push this limit. I know the manufactures would like you to change them every month…Just more money for them ya know…My bulbs are exactly one year old this month…
Thanks for the advice,
S
