![]() Oh, I should clarify...it is mixed 24 hours in advance...and house temp and tank temp are so close to the same that and temperature change in the tank is negligable...

![]() Oh and by the way...you havn'e seen salt dissolve until youve mixed it with a canoe paddle...dead serious.

![]() If you stir it and then just let it sit that seems risky to me but picturing you stirring a barrel of saltwater with an oar made me laugh!

![]() Oh man, you have to try it! 1 minute of stirring and there will not be one single undisolved grain of salt. Wait a day for the water to go crystal clear, check for any undisolved salt(there won't be), and you are golden. I give it another good thrashing before I add it to aerate it. My Oar can aerate the water fully in a minute flat-no mucking around, no power consumption. If there is something in that method that doesn't work, I've yet to find it...

Hummmmm..... Not gonna lie it's the dumbest idea I've ever heard so I can only assume your joking right??? with all the money we pit into our tanks why would I or anyone stir once with a canoe paddle??? A cheap pump can be bought second hand for a mere few bucks and pennys a month in bills ![]()

I have a hard time buying that, I'm not gonna lie. I don't get why anyone would care how someone else chooses to mix their water... I think that's hilarious and I can imagine it would work pretty good as the water displacement would be significant. If it were me, I might add an airstone to the mix while it was sitting for that 24 hours though,as I like to make sure any new SW is as oxygen rich as possible. |

First of all I couldn't care less if he stirs it with a fork and as far a dumb ideas this lecture coming from the guy who wanted to get a blue ringed octopuss .....so yeah ummm I think I'll stick with my powerhead. And hey gobytron uf your such a fan of hand stirring with boating equipment start a thread asking how many others do that and how many use pumps. We should just all start using garage items to stir I mean I got some copper piping, some mud mixers slightly used, and all kinds of rotting wood.........geesh some people , but leave it to you to agree eh ![]()

![]() Way to confirm how dumb you really if you never noticed or can't read the quote wasn't from you, and to my knowlege I didn't hear you say you run your oar for 24hrs a day , oh wait you don't you give it one quick thrash as you put it. I just read all your posts and your obviously new so I'll cut you a break by saying I didn't say your dumb I said the idea is dumb because it Is no one in their right mind unless raised to be a complete idiot would do that in a regular basis ....now this time I called you an idiot
