1. 10% a week
2. Fresh.

If you top off your evaporated water with salt water, isn't there a danger of increasing your salinity? Water evaporates, not salt.. or is there a new school of thought that I'm not aware of ?

1. weekly 10%
2. always fresh or you'll increase your salinity. evaporation leaves the salts behind.
