    Just add salt. Depending on tank parameters and salt used, you may have to add supplements to get ca/kh etc. to desired levels.

    Not to be odd man here I run all my make up water through a recator that I keep aragomight in, I used to add it passivily from time to time up until a few months ago. I use that in what I use to run hydrated Lime in. I just have the stirrer to mix it once a day now. been working pretty well , Still a work in progress though . But sofare I'm seeing great results seems my strontium levels are holding very well . And that along with the Carriba sea ca reactor media seems to have it all rock solid now.
