conditioner? you mean like a decloranator? The answer is no regardless. you just need the water.

On a note. it is not recommended to add water made today. made meaning added the salt to make salt water. It is recommended you wait a day or two before doing water changes after you make your salt water. Also you want to make sure your tank and replacement water match in SG,temp,PH.

and FYI, you don't use SW as evaporation water. you would only use RO/DI water for top off water.

What Salreus said, The night before you do a water change you should make up new saltwater and place a power head in what ever thenew saltwater is in to make sure everything is mixed when you add it to the main tank.
If you can, a heater would help out as well, just as long as the new water has about the same temp as the tank.
