So it’s okay to leave it at 1.027Not if you do it slowly. Like over several days, but I wouldn’t bring it down to 1.024. Salinity is the foundation of all the other elements. If you drop it that low, the rest of your elements will fall out of target range and your entire biology will take a hit. Try to keep it at 1.026 or even at 27.
