Hadn't really thought about this much, but is anyone with no water change systems topping off with some saltwater at least with some frequency every 1 weeks, 2 weeks, monthly?
I don't do WC any more. Skimmer skims pretty dry to begin with. Some salt creep is sure to happen in some areas and volume loss by testing is variable by the user and amount of tests performed.
Just thinking over the course of 1 mo you would go through 750mL tank water if your total tests used 25mL tank water per day, more with what is lost by salt creep or lost in the skimmer.
Wondering if anybody keeps a half gallon of saltwater mixed up on hand for minor saltwater top offs for this reason, or do you not think about it unless the SG dips to 1.025?
