I hope the event went smoothly.

- Thread starter under_water_ninja
- Start date
Thanks again to @Thales @Matt_Wandell @under_water_ninja and Schmitty for running things yesterday while braving the crazy storm! Lots of great info that hopefully will help out reefers from every experience level.
Assuming video was taken-or hopefully it was.
Yep Schmitty took it

I hate how conceited those guys are!
These frauds don't even make their own saltwater, some guy named Bob does!

How do you store 300-400 gallons of saltwater?
In a 300-400 gallon container usually. I don't think anything smaller would work.

Bob brings me 1000 gallons
No mixing involved
It’s pulled from half moon bay with some filtration
I heat it before I use it

Pretty sure @Thales has a big water tank like lfs use.
What is the cost per gallon if I may ask.

It’s probably close to the same as if you mix your own
Once you factor in the cost of salt and the time involved
Hahahaha
I sell the same water at my shop! Same water I use in all my systems! Good ol’ natural seawater!!
I get mine through HTA -corals seem to know no difference but also not concerned about contaminants, bad batches, but also not concerned about water conservation either regarding use of fresh water for RODI for salt water creation. It does come in at 33 PPT -but with evaporation-it all balances out.
If I had known that @under_water_ninja was going to open a shop a year after my current tank was up- I’d prob have gotten a bigger tank!

I'll double check when I talk to Bob next week.
I sell it at $1.50 per gallon. I think he will charge $1 per gallon for home delivery,
But it’s a 400gl minimum.
