Could I Re-Add Dry Salt "back" Into The Aquarium?

Would it be ok to re-add into the aquarium the dry salt that accumulates on the tops of the tank?

Firstly to TFF and the salty side of the forum

You cant add undisolved salt to a tank, it burns.

How about introducing yourself and your tank, we are a friendly but nosy lot

I dont think you could, chances are that some of the minerals, elements would be used up so it would be of no benefit.

Thank you for the welcome. I have had my 30 gal reef tank running for 3 years, 2 of which without incident. Unfortunatly I had the priveledge of seeing first hand what Ich can do to a tank and how frustrating it could be, knock on wood everything has been running smoothly now for 2 years. The equipment I use is.. a fluval 305 cannister filter, and also a mellenium 3000 bio-filter, and another double filter just for added water flow. I also have 2, 105 powerheads for added water circulation. I am using t-5 lighting, and a 100 watt heater. I have roughly 30 pounds of carribean liverock, and 2 inches of live-sand along the bottom. Tank inhabitants include, 2 Ocellaris clowns, a bi-color blennie, a scooter blenny,a yellow-tail blue demsel, and a domino demsel. Inverts include, 10 blue-legged hermit crabs, a reef lobster, a sea urchin,and a brittle sea-star. Corals include 2 button polyp colonies, a cabbage leather coral, and a mushroom coral. all of which seem to be flourishing. I will post some pics A.S.A.P.
