You mean the water level is low? Do you have an auto top off for evaporated water? Keeps your salinity in check.

If you don’t have an automatic top off you’re gonna have to manually fill it “top off” daily with rodi water to keep your salinity stable.. an upside down water bottle full of rodi works also in the return section if it’s set up correctly.

I have an RODI and a ATO in my other tank which I was planning on breaking down once this cycled. So should I added RODI non salt water now and then obviously add the ATO

so just top off and adjust your salinity during water changes
