wasp Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 If nobody closer to home can do it I will. However you will need a longer term solution also, you will always have evaporation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostface Posted January 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 ira, the salinity of seawater in NZ is higher than it is in the places where most corals & fish have evolved. not quite sure of the science behind this one, think its something to do with the temperature. no doubt after this reply someone will let us all know cookie, i was there twice today 10.30 and 12.30. got 720 litres! ill sleep well tonight.....

cookie extreme Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Taka is 1.029 i was quite suprised when i used my refractometer and it showed 1.029. well never mind in it went. i was there twice today 10.30 and 12.30 why didn't you go at high tide? clean water and easy to collect!
