just let the water evaporate in its own time, use it to keep the driveway free of ice come winter.

Dry it out add a little blue food coloring and put it out to pasture. Cows and Deer don't care if there is fish poop on it.LOL

Desalinators are used to produce freshwater out of saltwater, with the salt being a byproduct.

I reuse my salt water by recycling the reef water from my 210g into my 120g fowlr/softie tank. Just recycled 140 gallons last week. I figure the 120g with 90g seahorse refugium/sump has the dirtiest water so that is siphoned down the drain & the reef water is much cleaner so the 120g system now has better water in it, even though it is not new water.

I have joked with TomR for years that I wanted him to save his change water so I could recycle it in my tanks, but now I do it in-house

Been recycling the sw for over a year now, with no negative effects on my 120g system. I even have a Yellow Magnifica & a couple of Rose BTAs in the 120g & these anemones are doing great (the RBTAs even cloned).
