(I drain my QT down (water thrown out) drain the DT into the QT (without contaminating the DT) and add new saltwater mix to the DT.) This way I get a water change out of the mix, and am acclimating the fish to the conditions of the DT.
I looked at this as a way of re-using the water to save money, but I do it more frequently, since I am not adding pristine water.

Does this strike anyone as problematic?
