Evaporation

[Aquattro]

Always top off with fresh water. Make sure it's RO or treated tap water, chlorine won't go over well.

Also, if you've been using salt water, check your salinity, it's going to be high...

As suggested, use RODI or treated tap water to replace evaporation.

I find it's best to add top up water to the sump, give it ample time to mix in. If you don't have a sump, just add a little to the display at a time, as not to shock the inhabitants; try to get the top up water at a comparable temperature to the display/system's water.

What is RO/DI water? I have heard and seen the term before but never know what it is.
Thank you.

Reverse Osmosis/Deionized. It is essentially pure water, no other minerals or contaminant.
