Is SafeStart suitable for saltwater tanks also ?

SafeStart is specifically made for freshwater and Biospira is specifically made for saltwater.

I do not think so. I think there is a product called Biospira that is the saltwater equivalent. Not 100% sure though. I would do further research.

If you are asking about using it in a saltwater aquarium, I would not recommend it. I bought for my saltwater tank and realized it has metal parts. I ended up finding a completely pvc flapper valve to use instead.

I dont have any saltwater tank none the less you can use it with salt water with no problem whatsoever.

Not for saltwater use, you can use it but you got to clean it thoroughly. The inshore Abu's the less expensive ones are called the Orra's. The Orra so are not that much but made for saltwater ,hope this helps.

Minn Kota makes a line that is designed for SeaWater. From my understanding, the propeller parts are designed to withstand the corrosive that salt does to a typical motor which this one is NOT designed to do. I wouldn't risk it.

Hi, I found this answer in http://answers.tetra-fish.comAny of our filters are usable in both freshwater and saltwater applications. Some aquarists will argue that carbon is not ideal for saltwater while others find it beneficial. If you feel that carbon is not what you would like for your setup, you may simply cut the filter cartridge and empty out the carbon while keeping your mechanical filtration in place. Most salt water applications have at least live rock (1 pound of live rock per gallon of water is recommended) if not live sand as well. Both of these help reduce your waste levels in your tank.

I used Salifert for years, Red Sea is a well made kit with attention to the details, they are both accurate but I like the Red Sea much better, been reefing 8 years

I've had mine for a year in a saltwater tank...no issues. I've even have a snail that keeps the outside of the pump clean without getting hurt. If I had a fish commit fishycide, I would avoid that species in the future. Survival of the fittest/smartest.

Sorry very hard typing on my phone. But hopefully you understand. I love my salt water setup. I don't mess with any real chemicals.

I am using it in salt water for two years, so far it is OK .I don't know what the correct answer is. Good luck

This tank is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater as far as I know. I got mine from a friend and he had a small nano reef in it for over 3 years without any problems. I have a freshwater aquascape and a Betta male in it and it's fine as well.

I think that would be a different model... My old softener was a 12x48 tank and this one so far is working great... The old smaller system was regenerating every 4 days by a mechanical timer system. This one regenerates based on water usage and with our small household I've went the full maximum of 14 days before regeneration... I expect my salt usage will go way down... I really like it!! I had to redo my plumbing to accommodate the larger tank, but that wasn't too difficult and well worth the effort...

Yes, but beware that some ammonia pads are freshwater only. Something to keep in mind if your have a saltwater tank.

I have this installed for my fresh water wash down option on my 21' Seapro...It worked in a Salt Water environment all last season but I don't know about its actual use for saltwater.

Yes... Also most people are completely rearranging the chambers to a more efficient setup. Going with a media basket instead of the bioballs is a much better option (assuming your tank is saltwater)

Read the filter manual. Assuming you have the saltwater system you need 175#s of salt to start up. Also 55#s of sand for the filter. And 1.7#s of Cyanuric acid.
