Be sure to top off with fresh water only, not saltwater. :-)

You can buy a jug of nursery water at Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart to top off with for now.

So should I keep the little lid open?

Only if you want fish to go carpet surfing. The results of that is potato chip disease. Aka a dead fish.

what's your salinity at 1.023-1.026 is where you should be at.

Mine is at 1.023

Test it. You need to try to target that same salinity in your tank.

 

[Katrina71]

Depends on how much your tank evaporates.

Okay I will do that, and that's all I have been using and my salinity is at 1.023

 

[Brittany8808]

Okay I will do that, and that's all I have been using and my salinity is at 1.023

It bounces in between 1.023 to 1.025

 

[Katrina71]

As your tank water evaporates it gets saltier. The salt doesn't evaporate. The plain water you add back keeps the salt concentration the same.

It bounces in between 1.023 to 1.025

So you are getting some evaporation, but not a lot. Good! It's easier that way. Safer.

So when do I put that stuff In When I see my water get lower or when I do another 20% water change?
