Also I was trying to get at if a .002 swing is that detrimental. Thanks again

No problem Dh I did not know if you knew or not.

And the ansewer to a .002 swing>

You'll get quite of few opinions on that i should think,
And no i don't think a .002 is a large swing ( depending on the total body of water and what exactly your keeping in the tank )

I would say in a 5 gallon nano tank , it might hurt somthing really quick . beacuse the salinity changed so fast.

In a large tank like a 100 gallon or so , no it wouldint have as much an adverse effect on things ( it will take longer to mix all that water up and settle over a longer time frame )
