Slat Water Evaporation/ Dry Skin

hrdneglcry · 04-19-2006, 09:44 PM

Hi. Do any Salt Water Aquarium Keepers think that when the salt water from their tanks evaporates into the household air, that it causes dry skin for people in the house?

Nope... dry air in the house probably causes the dry skin and faster evaporation from the aquarium.

Sorry for the Type-O. Salt Water Evaporation

If anything, keeping the humidity up in the house helps keep skin moist. Since the salt isn't evaporating into the air, it's not affecting your skin. Only good old h2o evaporates from your tank.
