Do you guys have the same problem with open tanks? When my tank stays open the salinity raises to 1.030 and closed just maintains the same, but how do I stop that cuz one of my tanks need to always stay open and the salinity is crazy!

I thought salt evaporates too because I have alot of salt creep, but i top up really oftenWater evaporates and salt stays the same so it will rise unless you top up daily to compensate, most people use an automatic top up system
topping up with RO and not salt water?I thought salt evaporates too because I have alot of salt creep, but i top up really often
Are you testing salinity before or after water top off? Obviously if you test it before top off. Its going to be high. This it totally normal. Unless you are religious on manually topping off water. You need an ATO! My 15G tank can last 24hrs without being topped off before I would need to add water. My salinity goes from 1.025 to 1.026 at best and the return pump chamber water level is half way down.I thought salt evaporates too because I have alot of salt creep, but i top up really often

Again geographical locations matter a lot on this. I might lose on a given day half a gallon in my tank. While some people could lose double or 3 times that.
It's evaporation of water leaving a higher salinity. Additionally, sometimes when people's replacement water is not RODI, but saltwater instead.Do you guys have the same problem with open tanks?
