FAQ #36: Can I use ocean water in my reef tank? | 52 FAQ

https://goo.gl/kGseUQ Today on BRStv, we have another episode of BRS 52 FAQ where we answer all of your frequently asked reefing questions from our popular 52 Weeks of Reefing series.

Today we're answering Kyle Archer's question: "Is there any reason not to use natural seawater for a reef tank?"

The truth is, yes you can, but you may want to consider some reasons many reefers choose not to.

1) Clean ocean water is hard to find.
2) It takes a bit of extra work.
3) You'll probably need to adjust it.

For these reasons and a few more, most reefers find it much easier to mix up their own saltwater. There are many different manufacturers of synthetic salt mixes, but some of BRS's favorites are HW-Marinemix Reefer Salt Mix and Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Mix.

So stick around as we answer today's question, provide some helpful insights, and help make reefing just bit more fun and easy for you and your tank.
