55 to 90 AGA transfer

WC, will help a lot and your livestock will thank you for it.
You will go through a cycle as your test results are already giving you the indication.
Eyes on the ammonia and nitrite, if these are rising please do a WC ASAP before your shrimp will go belly-up.
Cycling will take a little longer as you need the ammonia to feed the bacteria, with a WC you slow it down but at least your fish will live.
If No3 is creeping higher please do use the skimmer as you will algae a step a head with that.
Diesel,

Gonna mix my own saltwater tomorrow night when I get back home from my trip. For the WC you suggested, I'm assuming you mean +/- 25%, right? I'm trying to also raise the salinity from .021-.022 to .025. Should I mix the new saltwater slightly higher in salinity to help achieve this? Or make it standard .025-.026? I know I've had some evaporation, but have had fresh RODI going thru my ATO, so actual DT volume & salinity has remained constant at .021-.022.

THANKS AGAIN!
