ATO & water replacement (FW/brackish)

[ILOVMYGOBES]

Hello all-
I am in the midst of possibly getting a brackish tank going. If I do I may either start with a nano tank or get a 30-50
tank going. Really depends on what my spouse allows.

I have had sw reef tanks for the last few years so I will be bringing over a lot of the same filtration processes I use for SW if I go bigger.

but here is my question-for the ato-do I use fresh or brackish water? The goal if possible -would be to use the ato for both in that if I remove a gallon of water- let’s say-the ato will automatically top off that gallon.

Thanks

I believe when dealing with salinity and topping off you generally want to use freshwater or RO water.

If to top off evaporation, fresh water. If for water changes, brackish water.

Thanks. What I initially thought but wanted to make sure
