Hey Everyone, finally going to start making my own water. I set up the unit and every thing, i just need it to run an hour or so, since i heard you should let the unit run and make 5 gallons of water to clean out the system of food presertatives and so on. What ive been doing in the past is storing freshly made saltwater from an lfs in air tight 5 gallon jugs. So one jug of saltwater would be stored for a week and the other stored 2 weeks.
Would I be able to continue this process or is there really a big difference in using freshly made saltwater asap compared to a max of 2 week storage?
How long can feshly made Ro/Di water be stored for? If saltwater can?t be stored long, maybe i?ll store the ro/dinwater and mix salt into it when needed.
When using ro/di water for ATO use, does it need a ph buffer? I asked this because, i keep rodi water stored in a 5 gallon container beside my 40 fusion, if not mistaken ro/di comes out with very low ph...or when its added slowly into the tank ot fixes the ph ok its own?
I think i should be ready to rock and roll now lol the lfs i get my saltwater from uses plain instant ocean (not knocking on it), so i want to try the Red Sea Coral Pro salt instead, as i know now my salinity should be more on point since the lfs is usually not consistant.
