Hi fellow reefers!
I wanted to see how other reefers with heavily stocked nano/small reefs deal with salinity creep. My tank volume is probably around 35g and is full of large SPS colonies (pictured below for reference). I currently dose 100mL of BRS two part as well as fully saturated kalkwasser in my ATO. I do weekly 5g water changes (with TM Pro at 34ppt) as well as the occasional freshwater exchange to drop salinity. I calibrate my refractometer weekly and I am always at 36-37ppt. Just curious if anyone has any other methods to managing rapidly rising salinity other than the freshwater replacements. Thanks in advance!
