Not sure how it happened but my Hanna checker for salinity and temp read my salinity at 1.026 (recently calibrated with hanna solution) but on a whim I double checked with a swing arm hydrometer and it was at a little over 1.030. Then I triple checked with a refractometer and it also stated 1.030 (after a RODI calibrate for good measure)
I started pulling out 2 gallons of salt water at a time to replace with RODI at a rate of 4 gallons a day total and it seemed to drop to about 1.028 at two days at it now. Is this a good rate of change or can I speed it up a bit to get back to 1.025-1.026 levels?
Tank is 175 gallons total volume FYI.
PS. Always double check!
