How do you keep you salinity at a certain level?
Hi there,
I'm trying to keep my salinity at 1.024 to 1.026 but it always goes close to 1.030. I know this is due to evaporation but i keep refilling with fresh water all the time but it always goes higher.

salinity issues can be solved with two things
1) Auto top off (best investment ever) 2) refactometer(sp) instead of a hydrometer. The ato will keep your levels constant and the refract will ensure you are actually at 1.026sg

+1 on the ATO
For the first few weeks that I had mine I thought I had a leak some where...lol, as you will be shocked to find out just how often the ATO pump kicks in to keep up with evaporation.
