Maybe I shoujld
Maybe I should keep my ATO up at 1.030 for a while and let it climb slowly that way. I lose the typical amount when pulling out filters, emptying the skimmer, water testing and that is just getting replaced with RODI water in my ATO. I guess over time that would cause a drop, huh?I've always kept mine at 1.027 personally. I was taught that is about the range you're looking for. When your water evaporates the salt is left over, so your ATO should keep it stable. Your water changes are more of replenishing trace elements, not really keeping salinity stable.
