I've previously tried doing this by heating the section in the oven, this way is much faster and more precise.


Anyone know where I can go buy salt in town? I've just made it through my last bucket and I need 4 to fill up Tibet to start her on her maiden voyage.

we got all kinds at concept drop over and see us:)

That's a lot of salt yo! What does "scientific grade" mean?

Yeah, 4 boxes, plus 2.5 pails...it better be enough. I haven't used Coralife in YEARS, so maybe I'll stick with it, or maybe not; who knows.

I imagine my little grains of salt arriving dressed up in their little lab jackets and googles all ready to get down to being all science-y and such.

I'm using that same salt on the 180 here at the office. Seems pretty good. Mixes up really quick from what I can tell and mixes fairly clean too, haven't seen much residue left in my water change container, and its CHEAP! :mrgreen:
