I think regular and frequent water changes should be a little more in focus here also.
Anthony Calfo put it best I think when he said, "dilution is the solution to the pollution!" The salt also helps with supplementation of some things other then just removing pollutants.
What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing!

I use whatever salt is on sale (im cheap remember:) Right now im about half way through a bucket of oceanic.  Okay so this mornings testing puts cal at 440, alk at 10.2, and mg at 1380, after a year of no dosing, so aparently thats the make-up of oceanic salt... at least in my tank.
 
That's pretty bizarre since Oceanic's ALK is about 8.5   That's what they claim and when I mix it at 1.026, that's where it tests.

Hmm, that is pretty bizarre Jake. Maybe my salifert test kit is off? It certainly hasnt been used much in quite awhile lol. Oh well, even if it is at 8.5, i would be okay with that, although just for kicks, I might start dosing alittle alk and see if things continue to do as well. And yes Chad, i totally agree with Anthony's statement on the importance of water changes.
Life is good....right?
