after adding fresh water - salinity test

[imfsub12]

Yep how long do you wait till you test your salinity after adding your evaporated water? so that everything is good and mixed

Wait at least an hour, how much freshwater did you add? You may want to look into a auto top off system (there are some nice ones for under $100)

try to mark a water line or some reference on the tank to know exactly where water level is supposed to be...then when water evaporates you just fill up to that line...
