    Missed post

    Salt Drip

    Are you going to mix up some very high Salinity water in a 5gal bucket and then let it drip like you acclimate fish? or just dump salt in the tank a little at a time?:-/

    havent fully decided. I may just fill a 5 gallon bucket and have it at much higher salinity then put that in on a nightly basis. it MUST be done slowly. like .002 daily or something....

    Might just put my mixing bucket in the sump, put some salt in it and mix it up, then put the hose from the chiller in the bucket and let it just overflow for an hour to slowly add that higher salinity back in, but I doubt I will just throw a a few cupfuls of salt into the sump.
