Thanks! Water top off tomorrow should fix the salinity being high at 40!
It will lower that number, but fluxes like that over the long term will stunt the system from maturing.

ATO the best piece of equipment, but, if you like to fill yourself, sure, you can do that.

I normally top off every weekend manually, but I will definitely look into an ATO setup!

So you manually top off every 7 days?
Sorry, but that’s not going to work.
It’s way way too much flux.
At least once a day,
Or maybe I simply mis understand what you’re saying.
I lose 1.5% of my water through evaporation every day.

In order to maintain salinity, I need to top off 96 times every 24 hours.

I must not understand what your trying to do.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
