Re: going from fresh to salt
Fill it up with RO water and let it sit a couple days. Maybe not all the way full, but fill it maybe 10% -- 25% full. Run a freshwater copper test on it. I'd just take a sample to the LFS and pay them $2 to do it. No point in purchasing a freshwater copper test kit. You'll never need it again.
Why RO water? Because the copper plumbing in your house/apartment can leach and give you a false reading if you're just using tap water.
