Salt is just simply that, its a dissolved solid in your water, which is why you measure the salinity or amount of dissolved solids (salt) in your water with a hydrometre. The only way to remove salt from your Brackish tank is through water changes. Water evaporation doesn't do it as it generally leaves the salt behind. If you're salinity is too high, do a water change without adding more salt.
