Ocean Water---Pro's and Con's!

[Ricko]

one thing a few of my friends do that get ocean water is store it in a dark place and heavily airrate it for 2 week's to kill any protozoan's or perisite's best of luck with your decision.

Still undecided.
Sounds safer to stick to my RO unit and salt mix. Alot cheaper for the ocean water though!!

If it's collected from an area where live rock is growing and Tangs are seen swimming, does that make a differrence??? This being the case i'm assuming any "con" would be microscopic and rare????

It really would be the same because so much water is pushed in and out of zone's it's hard to say what might be in the water.
