Hello, I am dealing with a high nitrate situation. I usually use "pre-mixed" water (out of convenience). One jug works well for a routine change for my 29 gal biocube.
Went to LFS yesterday, long story short, no pre-mixed water and no bagged salt on shelf. Mixed with what I had left. No problem. Now I am out and I would still like to do another water change. Won't be able to get either for another day or two.
In Wal-mart, there was API aquarium salt. It is for freshwater fish, to be used as a water conditioner. Box said it was made from evaporated sea water. Does anyone have any information about it? Can it be used to mix SW? I won't use it unless I know for sure!
Thanks for any input,
Lisa
