1 gallon jug maybe?

I keep mine at 1.025 ... about 1 gallon every couple of days.. manually at this point.. figuring out an ATO system still..
no typo, its one of those 5 gallon water jugs from the store. My 40 gallon loses about 3 litres/day depending on how much my AC unit is running.Heave Ho!

Default salinity

1.026 @ 78-80 My chiller sprang a leak so it is not running at the moment. Tank and sump come to just under three hundred gallons. I top off three to four gallons a day directly into the sump buy the inflow from the overflow.
The tank is mostly SPS and I have never noticed any problems. It is not really much into 300gal though. Smaller tanks may be different due to volume but I would think it would be relative though.
