tropic marin nano shake and make

[profntbtr]

did anyone else snag the tropic marin nano shake and make container? i have one, but am presented with the challenge of draining to an appropriate level by guesswork. if any of the other people who made it up to Macna are willing to give up their empty bladder, i would greatly appreciate it. i'll pay for it, or can trade a bucket. 2.5 gallons is a better sized water change than the 5 gallon bucket i've been doing.

I didn't grab one of them while we were there. The guy from tropic marin tweaked me every time I went by there.
He told me and everyone else I heard that we were doing everything with our tanks wrong.

It was a pretty cool idea though. 2.5 gallon premeasured salt, just add water and shake.

great idea, but not available stateside. why do they do that?

Mike, you can have ours.

What's this shake and make thing, for those of us that weren't lucky enough to be at macna?

[StevenSeas]

They aren't available stateside yet. It was his job at macna to drum up enough interest to convince wholesalers to pick it up. The problem is it would likely have to retail around $25 or so.

What it is is a collapsible 2.5gal or 10liter container. It has a screw top with a built in ball valve to release the water. They originally come with enough of their pro reef salt for 10liters and you add the ro/did water. As you do that it expands and then you shake it and have fully missed salt in a few minutes total of work. Then you can buy 2 pre measured salt packets to fill it back up and reuse it.

awesome, thanks Mike. I can wait til the swap if you'd prefer or I can swing by sometime. Good looking out Steven, I suppose I should have explained.

[Mike]

The swap is fine. I have not even messed with it since macna.
