Now don't everyone throw me under the bus just yet... give me a chance to explain this. It's just a thought and I've never done it, but if you're like me, you probably don't like dumping so many gallons of water during hypo treatment. I'm not saying this concept will replace everything, but might be used as a good stable way to lower salinity in your QT with a minimal loss of water. How to raise salinity and keep the water clean is still all the same.
OKAY - so here's my idea. What if you got an RO unit and hooked it up to your QT, setting it aside only for your QT... to lower salinity and return clean, pure RO water. You could get a cheap RO unit and run it really slow, connecting it to a pump in the tank. This would be an excellent and VERY stable way of lowering the salinity evenly and consistently.
You could get an RO unit REALLY cheap online... it just needs to remove the salt from the water.
I've drawn a VERY crude image of what I'm thinking of. Thoughts???
