? when you all mix saltwater how long do you let it mix for before adding it to the tank . I think instead of doing a water change this time ill just add it slower . Like a little each day to replace whatever evaporated til its at 1.026
?
 
The new yellow wrasse finally seems comfortable. He destroys white worms.
Beautiful and healthy fish, John

Depending on the salt you are mixing

I usually wait over night . Not sure how you would add it to the tank . I would get the water up to 1.026 before adding it .

You only want to replace evaporated water with FRESH rodi water. When saltwater evaporates, the salt stay behind. Your salinity will rise as water evaporates.
