Hi guys,
I’m new to the forum and the hobby.
I have two sons who are absolutely obsessed with corals and saltwater fish so finally decided to get one and once looking into the hobby I have fallen in love with it aswell!
I just wanted to confirm the weekly water changes are done with salt water as oppose to RODI water is that correct?
Also the saltwater from my local reef shops has a really low salinity(.019) compared to the water in my tank 0.23/4) so would water changing with it lower my salinity? Should I add some salt to it before the water change to increase the salinity to match that of what is currently in the tank?
Any advice would be much appreciated
