Pick a salinity and try to stay around that. Always top off with RO or distilled, not tapwater or SW. Other than that it's like FW. You put filters on your tank, cycle it and do water changes when necessary.
Do invest in a refractometer though. A hydrometer isn't necessarily accurate, especially when you're running low salinities.
Just about everything you said, is French to me???
especially refractometer??? No clue
