Sooo...

Truck got broken into late last night so dealt with that all morning.

Then maintenance day for the tank. Was mixing salt water and left a bucket for ATO, was playing with kids while doing so. Pull old water out... dump new water in. On the second bucket I notice the water doing something strange, like two unlike substances mixing. I notice that water I was dumping in was straight RODI water.

Sheer panic both for me and animals. Start frantically pulling water out and mixing more concentrated salt.

I Do this, I don't know how many times, until it is not at .025. I am not really wanting to take it more than that until everyone gets settled. Any advice? Did I do the right thing after I did the wrong thing? I already had a couple of SPS frags holding on for dear life, so I think I sealed their fate. Will post a pic of the tank shortly.

Much obliged for help or advice.
 
If you can get it back to the value it was, and as quickly as possible, that seems like the most you can do.

Keep us posted.
