Gemmy are you headed to Lancaster for the big sale?
No, once again I have to work the whole weekend. This happens every time they have a sale.

i have gone through i think 5 buckets of the aqua vitro.and i use a glass 45 gallon tank to mix.the glass has no white on it at all.crystal clear.
might want to soak your pumps in vinegar to clean them.

Yeah I know....what I usually do it run the pump thru the brute with the vinegar in it.
This has never happened like this before though
not after 1 waterchange....NOW If I made water up and left it for a while...I have had build up....never like this
I wonder if IO did something to their salt??

Spanko yesterday, or the day before, posted a link to a TOTM page. I was very interested to read how those folks did things differently to achieve their goals.
One of the TOTM winners mixes 2 different salts. He said (paraphrasing) this mix is high in this and that and that other mix is high in the other. He blends the two to get the parameters he prefers.

Not to uncommon. I've read more people doing the exact same thing, to get the best of both worlds.....
