salt level - how to lower?

[honeysuckle11]

My salt level raise from 1:024 to 1.026. How do I lower it?

Why do you want to lower it? Natural seawater is 1.026 . We do need to figure out why it did rise though. Are you adding fresh water as your top off water?

 

[honeysuckle11]

No I mean I added a bucket of Or water and mix my salt but tank was at 1:024 and the new 5 gallon was at 1:026. If it does go higher how would I lower it?

Drain off water and replace with ro/di.

I'm not sure exactly what your asking but if your talking abount adding 1.026 water to an existing 1.024 tank I doubt it would raise the tank water that much and it wouldn't raise it above 1.026 anyway.

1.026 is perfect its not to high as stated above that is what natual seawater is

 

[honeysuckle11]

my level is at 1.026 should I try to lower it or am I. Fine til next water change?

 

[tonedogz]

That is where its suppose to be there is no need to lower it

 

[honeysuckle11]

1.026 is perfect i keep mine at 1.025 just in case i forget to top it off it wont climb to high 1.024 will save you a few bucks in the long run (years)
