Might be a dumb question, but does anyone have any tips tricks for cleaning/dealing with salt creep? Im a clean freak so the salt creep build up in the filter chamber near the skimmer etc is driving me nuts and wanted see if there are any tips/tricks for dealing with it, and if the salt should go back in the water or not?

Not sure what you mean - a photo would help.

But any salt that creeps onto things in my systems gets washed back into the tank.
It's pretty negligible in terms of salinity in my experience

That’s not bad. Its from the splashing from the bubbles that pop that come out of the skimmer. I have the same skimmer and the same buildup like you do. I usually just wipe it down when I do weekly water changes.

By the way, if you cover that short tube, it will cut down the gurgling noise big time. Cover it with your hand and you will see what I mean. I shoved a nerf ball into there to silence it.
