Thoughts on oxygen bubbles in refugium

[beginner_reefer]

What are your thoughts on running air stones or oxygen bubblers in the refugium? We did have 2 going but it was causing alot of evaporation. Not running the skimmer yet because there is no need for it right now since the tank has only been running for a month. Have 2 small clowns, 2 peppermint shrimp and a CUC in the tank right now.

Great idea. I have 2 aio's with no skimmer and run airstream.
Get an ato.

This is what we were running and it was causing about 3/4 gallon evaporation a day. We have an ATO hooked up to an RODI that is putting in lost water which is causing the salinity to be diluted. I'm fight to get it back up but no luck. It is staying at 31. I mixed salt up in a 5 gallon bucket and adding a little at a time every day but can't seem to get it back up to 35. It is mixed hot so I only add a little every day. What is your thoughts on this also?
