Do you have to premix the salt water before top-up? Let it run for 1 night before top-up into the main tank?

yes, ur parameter will be more stable.. I usually let it run under wavemaker for couple of days before WC.. You can do an experiment and be amazed by the differences especially Ph

Pls take note that you should only top up with distilled water.

Saltwater, pre-mixed or NSW, is for water change only.

As only water is evaporated, the salt content gets left behind.

So if you keep topping up with saltwater, your tank gets more and more salty.

You may want to take a salinity reading now. If it's too high, reduce it gradually via water changes ya..

Will check and lower it tomorrow when I get back to SG
