Yup... sounds good
you need RO water for your tank to replace the stuff that evaporates ( Salt stays in, SG rises)
you need water changes as part of good tank maintenance (old water SG out, new water same SG and temp in)

that Tang....... I dunno..........

no what i'm trying to say is NOW my RO water is 1.023, not before i put salt, come o even i'm not that bad! i know you have to put salt in RO for it to be salt water lol, i added a bunch of salt pre-mixed it in a 2L bottle and then put it in my 5-gallon w/c container

Ok, like I said, it's late, I'm tired. But.....are you saying your RO is 1.023 BEFORE or AFTER adding salt to it? If before, it just ain't so....
