Do skimmers remove salt?
Or is it like evaporation with only H2o removed and no salt?
Just guessing, I would say it may be salty .. but I sure as h3ll ain't tasting it to find out. |

It does take out a small amount of salt. Depending on tank size I would check salinity monthly and adjust if needed.

Hey ..thanks for the link! Found the answer in the article: "These water soluble species consist of 3.45 wt % sodium.."
3% - 4% salt. There was also a surprising (to me) amount of calcium removed. Last edited by ComforablyNumb; 11/25/2017 at 12:29 PM. |
