I cant imagine i am the only one that has this issue, however i am hoping to find a more clever way of completing the task of water changes. I change the water out, okay great, at this point i add water back in that is treated for chlorimites, etc. If i just add the water with no salt, it drastically reduced the salt level in the tank. So i usually a day before i am to do the water change fill a bucket and dump salt in it to let it desolve. I stir the water so it doesnt settle to the bottem but it always seems that it settles to the bottem of the bucket, i pour the water into my main tank once it has aired, and then measure the salinity. It seems like my salinity never really goes up by much unless i just dump the salt sludge that collects at the bottem. My livestock NEVER appreciates this, snails do what snails do but my star comes up from the sand and races around the tank trying to find a stable environment. What is everyone else doing to help with this?
