Speaking of which:
I add 3 cups of salt to 6 gallons of water, leave a small
heater and pump in the bucket, check the salt level after a
couple days, but let it churn away the remaining days until
the weekly change. Doing such a small amount (for a 55
gallon tank) is so hassle free. I don't have to run the
water down to the basement drain or outside as I do my
turtle tank and I don't have to guess at the percentage by
the level of water in the tank. Just fill a bucket and
replace a bucket.
