[AquaticLife] Question about salt?
Why are you adding salt?
On my blog’s Fish Diseases page, I have a section on Salt and the Osmoregulatory System. Read through all of the links and you will see it’s not needed as an everyday thing with FW fish. It’s great for treatment purposes but the best thing for everyday purposes is plenty of fresh clean water by doing regular and frequent 25% PWC’s.
But to answer your question, if you are just topping off the tank due to evaporation, then you do not add more salt to the water as the salt that was in the tank did not evaporate when the water did. If you are doing a PWC, then the water going in should be at the same salt concentration as the tank, since you are removing “salty water” when you do the PWC.
