Kh keeper return waste water

[serez]

Hi does anyone use reef factory kh keeper that return their waste water? I have a 20Gallon tank but the actual water volume is only about 60L. I think the kh keeper uses like 30ml per test or more. It would lower the salinity. I’m wondering if it’s ok to return the waste water.

It will not appreciably lower the salinity in a normal reef tank. The 30 mL added back is like 0 alk seawater being added. The tiny bit of water from the added acid is insignificant in terms of salinity since it will be the same as a very small reduction in the rate of evaporation.

I see what u mean. So you’re saying it’s totally safe to add the sample back? I actually meant if I discarded the sample every time, the Ato will add water to make up for losses and thus lowering salinity. But I guess if it’s safe to add them back, this won’t be an issue??
