Water top up

[Darylb]

Hey guys I need to top up my water in my 9 gallon nano tank with fresh water I have distilled water to do it now my only problem is how much do I put in? I don't have any salt to add to it if I put to much but I do have more salt water I can add my sg is at 1.028

You don't add salt to your top up water, you just use fresh water

 

[Darylb]

But how much fresh water do I add?

 

[Jmkb02]

Whatever evaporates and hold 1.020 - 1.026 salinity

Ah okay I got distilled water I guess that will do is de mineralised

Distilled water is okay to use short term but I would switch over to ro when you can.

When you have your tank at the level you want it to be, take a sharpie and draw a line in one of the corners. That way you'll know how much you need to top off without the assistance of an ATO.

How do I get RO water

 

[marty20]

They sell RO units you can attach to your own water supply or your lfs might sell some. I would ask

Pure water club, google them. They have the best prices on their filters and systems. I had a small prob with mine after having it for around 3 months and they sent me a whole new system. Great products and service! Like 70 for an entire system
