Ok so what I mean is u have to mix the Salt with rodi water, so it is more time consuming. But if u have a LFS that does saltwater fish most of the time they have a mixing station there. You would have to bring 2 five gal water jugs empty and buy saltwater, they fill it up and u do a water change like always. Just don't add skink water! add the saltwater.

Now some people use sink water and not rodi water but that how you get green hair algae super bad. City water is very dirty and will grow algae must faster because of the phosphates and nitrates in it and it is chlorinated. Rodi is reversed osmosis with a Deionized filter on the end. It makes very clean water, so using good water will start you off right! LFS have a rodi unit and sell the water and that's why I was asking what's in the area. Some only sell freshwater but u have to mix it.
