The DIY 2-part all add NaCl (table salt) over time because the primary ingredients are calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. Water changes and dilution are the key to keeping the ionic balance and salinity in the reasonable zone. |
Can you explain why table salt is added. I have been using the DIY 2 part for a couple years, but only when needed to supplement the calcium reactor.
How would you know if you needed to add table salt?
