Problem: Article: Fish supply stores offer two ways to get saltwater for your aquarium. One is by pre-made saltwater or getting a synthetic sea salt mix that you blend into the water. If you plan to mix your own saltwater, make sure you purchase the pre-made saltwater solution that you add to water that you supply.  Get a dry synthetic saltwater mix. These generally come in tubs of 10 or 22 kilograms or 22 or 48 pounds. You'll need a larger container for bigger aquariums and a smaller tub for smaller aquariums. Keep in mind that even if you have extra, you can use the product to mix future batches of saltwater. Make sure you use a quality, reputable synthetic sea salt mix such as Instant Ocean or Reef Crystals. Just as your sea salt mix is important, so is the water for the saltwater aquarium. You can use tap water for a fish-only aquarium but need a different water source for reef aquariums. It is ideal to use reverse osmosis and/or deionized water (RO/ DI) for fish-only and reef aquariums.  Be aware that you should only use tap water if its quality is excellent. It should be free of petroleum, organic compounds such as animal manure, or other chemicals introduced by humans' activities. You'll also need to dechlorinate and dechlorinate tap water before you blend it with the sea salt mixture. You can get products that remove chlorine and chloramines, such as Dr.Tim's Aquatics Aqua Cleanse, at fish supply and some pet stores.  Purchase RO/ DI water at a fish or pet supply store. If you are interested, you can also purchase a system that produces RO/ DI water. Water and a sea salt mixture are the most important elements of blending saltwater for your aquarium. You'll need a few more supplies to ensure that the aquarium is safe for your fish and/ or corals. Make sure you have the following supplies before you start mixing your saltwater:  Clean bucket or heavy-duty plastic storage bin Submersible aquarium heater Floating or battery-powered thermometer Small submersible powerhead or pump for water circulation Refractometer or hydrometer for measuring specific gravity/ salinity, which is how salty the water is Stirring tool
Summary: Buy a sea salt mix. Decide on your water source. Gather additional supplies.

Problem: Article: Read a good book, take a long bath, or go on a walk. Meditate and practice breathing techniques. Watch a funny movie or go to a comedy club. Surround yourself with funny people and laugh often. Chronic or continual stress reduces the presence of HGH in the body.  The very process of laughing has a positive effect on the body and increases HGH. People watching a funny movie can even anticipate a rise of up to 87% in their HGH.  One way of gauging stress could be to take your blood pressure on a daily basis. If you invest in a blood pressure cuff, then you can take a baseline reading and go from there. If you reach a consistent blood pressure of 120/80, then you are likely succeeding in relaxing and your HGH may boost as a result. Your level of HGH is directly connected to your ability to get to REM, or deep sleep. Try to get at least 8 hours of undisturbed sleep per night. Create a relaxing routine in the evening, such as reading a book. Avoid playing with electronics which can expose you to blue light and lessen the quality of sleep.  You can also reduce your caffeine intake, which might help you to fall asleep faster and deeper. As you sleep, your body releases intervals of GH (growth hormone). If you miss hours of sleep, then you miss GH bursts. Gaining muscle and losing fat can positively impact your HGH levels. Body fat inhibits the production of HGH and belly fat is especially problematic. Try to lose the weight by eating a healthy, balanced diet and working out at least three times a week. Resistance exercises can be particularly helpful at trimming your mid-section.  The presence of extra abdominal fat can lower your HGH by almost half the average amount.  To gauge your percentage of body fat, you can visit a personal trainer or invest in a body fat caliper. Talk with your doctor about how to accurately measure using the caliper. Create a work-out plan where you go through 30 second bursts of intense activity followed by brief rest periods. You can include both challenging cardio and weight routines as part of your interval workout. Breaking a sweat can be a sign of a particularly effective interval routine. Interval workouts elevate HGH because the pituitary gland boosts production to assist with muscle recovery. Make an appointment with your doctor to take your HGH readings at the start of this process and at monthly or bi-monthly intervals thereafter. This will help you to know whether or not you are making appropriate progress. You can also pay close attention to your body to see if you have extra energy or if you are putting on muscle easier as these are indicators of HGH increases.
Summary:
Relax. Get enough sleep. Lower your body fat percentages. Do interval training. Monitor your progress.
