I'm not sure about other salts but reef crystals says 160 gallons on the bucket. Then you factor in the fact that that's for 1.022 or whatever. I'm not getting even 3 changes out of a bucket so i guess a bucket won't last me a month which sucks. If I'm realistic I have maybe 6 months worth leftish.

For me, it works out to appox 17% every two weeks for a 160 gallon bucket. That's with H2O, I'm seriously debating changing to a cheaper salt to save some cash as well.

I changed to Seachem from H2O a year ago and nothing seemed to change much. If anything, the tank improved (but I doubt it was the salt)

Picked up a gang of little chromis tonight as well as a female for my squarespot. He reacted to her immediately and the band on his head which is normally faintly visible was very contrasty as were the horizontal stripes on his body.

The chromis... sure wish they stayed small, all alive, and schooling. To dream! They already have drawn my firefish and gramma out into the open more.

iPhone4 and shaky hand =)

The male anthias keeps charging at the glass... it's beating his mouth up a little can't say I'm impressed. Can anyone tell me if that's normal? Will he calm down once the female's been in there a few days?
