Hi all
Iv been doing alot of wet skimming in the last few days ,.my skimmer cup has been getting nearly full within a day
What I need to know is , is it salt water that is pulling or is it like r/o
The reason I'm asking this is
If it's salt water I'm pulling out its being replaced by my ato , which must be making my salt level go down ...I know not alot but in time it would go down
Can anyone clear this up for me
Thanks

It is removing salt water. Just test your salinity every so often. When my salinity drops out of range, I just put salt water in my ATO.
 
It's Salt water. You will have to check your salinity so it doesn't drop too low.
