    Default WATER CHANGE GONE BAD!

    Ok I was going to do my weekly 5g water change with IO salt.
    My friend knocked out at the door because he wanted me to check out his new car. So I did. he let me drive it around LagunaVista. and I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THE SIPHON OF WATER! I came back with like @ least 20g of water on the floor. I have only enough IO salt to make 5-7g of water and I have enough to make the rest with Ocianic salt.
    I've been trying to stray away from Ocianic but would it be ok for me to use it one more time? The level is too low for my main filter to work.
    29G Mixed tank, 380w of light (250w 14k Ushio, 2x65w PC Actinic), Octopus NW110, 75x turnover.

    Finally after years I have a tank worth showing!

    I dont see why it would be a problem, especially if you need more water. Good luck

    Just my opinion, but I prefer Oceanic over IO.

    Yeah I ended up making the water change with Oceanic, I waited to long and it looks like the water messed up one side of my PC's. So that pretty much sucks. And I yes I all so would've rather used IO
