Q: What color should the water in your reeftank be? I mean if you poured it into a white bucket.
I siphon the old water into a white 5 gal bucket for my water changes and its always light pink?
I have a 27g Tall reeftank wiith crushed coral and live rock. Water test show (PH-8.2) (AMMO-0.5) (NITRITE-0) (NITRATE-0) (ALK-1.1)
WARNING: I buy water from the LFS. I buy it in those standard 5g containers. Well the other night I picked up the container and the handle and most of the top ripped off and 5g of saltwater was all over my livingroom. I have Hardwood floors and area rugs. Ended up having to throw out one of them.
I rememebr that I kept the containers in my backyard deck and figured that the sun may have damaged it.
So I went to my local Ace hardware and bought a heavy duty container... one for transoporting kerosene for $7. This should be tough enough!
The Gasoline containers were very thick-walled but they were also $25.
Life's a bunch of hard lessons!
