Is the only way to add more and more Rodi or is there a simpler way? My salinity is really high yet everything seems to be fine so idk I’d like to lower it just in case

How high? I would recommend just adding more RO/DI not that hard.Is the only way to add more and more Rodi or is there a simpler way? My salinity is really high yet everything seems to be fine so idk I’d like to lower it just in case
I think he meant add fresh RODI water. not adding anymore salt. I could be wrong but idkDon’t add, replace. Salt water out fresh water in.
Not sure why everyone keeps saying add, it’s not add it’s REPLACE. If you want to lower your salinity, and assuming you maintain the same water heights in sump/tank, remove water from your system and add fresh RO/DI water. Do it in small amounts, not more than say .002SG equivalent.I think he meant add fresh RODI water. not adding anymore salt. I could be wrong but idk
Oh just didn't get what u were saying. You are correct but I'm guessing this is what he meant. But +1 to the small amountsNot sure why everyone keeps saying add, it’s not add it’s REPLACE.

Yep. I think people are getting confused with evaporation.Not sure why everyone keeps saying add, it’s not add it’s REPLACE.

WOW yes try to lower that as quickly and safely as possible1.033
yes it’s a pretty stocked tank (fluval Evo 13.5)Yep. I think people are getting confused with evaporation.
Check to make sure no evaporation has occurred, if it has, top off the necessary amount of RODI water. If you see your water levels are the same, then replace tank water for RODI. Do you have livestock in the tank?
Then do not ever let the salinity get this high again.yes it’s a pretty stocked tank (fluval Evo 13.5)
I know it happened suddenly after a water change, but idk howThen do not ever let the salinity get this high again.
I expect your new saltwater was mixed to a high salinity. Before changing anything, be sure your tank measurement is correct... properly calibrate whatever instrument you use and test again.I know it happened suddenly after a water change, but idk how
???Don’t forget to add Part C of balling to balance ions. My one issue with most two part solutions.
Thought someone had mentioned that and I was just commenting on the imbalance with trace. Perhaps I should have stated to practice the balling method to solve the dilution of salinity by exchanging tank water with fresh.Backing up, how do you supplement calcium and alkalinity, if at all?
