Another problem that you may encounter eventually is the acidity of the soil if the salts dont percipate from your top soil. So it may be green for awhile but as the acidity rises your grass will stop doing so. Easy way to prevent it is- Rain which is exinct here in Texas or watering quite awhile for the salts to leach out of your top soil. Im not saying to do this now though, just if you start seeing a problem with your grass over time. There are other ways to combat this as well. The reason its so green right there is because you are basically fertilizing that patch of grass. Fertilizers are sold by their NPK percentages and by adding a skimmer we are trying to reduce the nitrogen and phosphorus waste in our tank(s).
