    Should I be concerned if when I clean salt creep if it falls back into the water?

    I always through mine down into my overflow. If its too little to do that then it is too little to matter anyhow.

    OK great. Thats what I thought. Ya I have some big chunks that if I dont clear will fall on their own. I'll try to catch as much as I can.

    Thanks

    If it lands on anything living it will burn it, otherwise its fine.

    I use a fine mist spray bottle to help dilute it and to help it along its journey back into the tank :)
