Hey everybody possibly a dumb question.
I am about to install an aquamaxx HOB 1.5 on my 45 gallon jbj aio. Since it is currently just running with a refugium, I think this is going to make a big difference in water quality. I have been looking at wet versus dry skimming and this has led me to a question. When the skimmate is collected in the top of the skimmer with some water, is that liquid freshwater or saltwater? As in, would I need to be replacing it with saltwater or would my ATO just be doing more work replacing the freshwater?
I might add I was thinking of going dry since it may seem slightly less efficient, which I want due to having soft corals and also a chaeto refugium.
