For those of you who dose kalk solely overnight, how do you deal with the fact that it would theoretically fill your tank over the ATO sensor, lowering salinity, and then just slowly evaporate throughout the day until salinity returns to normal and your ATO starts to kick on a bit?

Do you just let it happen?

Thanks!

I only used limewater 24/7, but if you set the delivery rate to not exceed the evaporation ratee (by ato or by dosing pump delivery rate), you won't have that issue.
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
