How to lower salinity?

[Nahno]

Hey guys. I’m at 1.025 in a ten gallon. I was wondering, with that volume if anyone knows about how much fresh water I would want to add to lower it to 1.024.

1.025/26 is where you want it to be.

Remove about 1 quart, add RO take reading, repeat

You're at a good level, keep it there!

I would just wait till about 5 percent evaporates out ,than just add some rodi water and see where your level is at....personally i like mine at 1.025 for a reef tank... BTW when you add the new water make sure it is about the same temp as to not shock anything in the tank...hope this helps..

why would you act to lower it?

I like 1.025 simply because it's an easy mark to distinguish on my refractometer.
