Honestly the salt game has changed drastically since my last one yrs ago, so I was doing it the way I was taught. Simple bucket of tap water add salt and dechlorinate and ph buffer. Worked fine for just fish . But after that I started adding things. Coral , live rock, nems. And most of what I've learned that's helped me successfully keep a better quality tank has come from this group. I always get on everyday read people,s post and response,s to the post. And am always learning from it. I've also learned a lot from everyone I've met so far from this group. Although I live pretty far from most of you it's always great to meet all of you and learn more open mindedly
