    it's evaporation, this is where you need to add your fresh topoff water (no salt!)

    its fine, it should eqalize on it's own, in the future you can add it directly to the sump. If you mark the sump with the waterline it will help keep the water volume stable.

    well can't i just add it on my own and then basicly just make sure I watch the big tank for taking on too much water?


    it's been this way for a day or 2
