I'd bet the softener salt is for Diy rock. You put a bunch in and when you cure the rock the salt dissolves leaving lots of nice big holes for the little critters to hide in.

I have all my water go through the skimmer box first, before passing through the fuge & then the return pump. Just a thought.

Have read that skimmed water isnt allways best for fuge. Alot split their flow, like argan has. I have split flow as well. But, nothing in Fuge yet, need to build fuge V2.0 first.

I plan on underskimming quite a bit, so thats why i went with this plan.

and yes, the softner salt is for DIY rocks
