Ok I dont have my saltwater "bible" with me. I left it at work over the weekend.

Ive set up the tank yesterday but the salinity is off the charts.

I put in a half a cup of reef salt for ever gallon of RO water.

Should I take some of the water out and put in fresh RO water to lower my salinity or will the salinity level go down in day or two.

I know Im sounding stupid here but I cannot remember if it will or do I just need to add change some water out?

Thanks for humoring me on this one.

Rinse off your testing equipment and retest. If it is still nutty, replace some of that tank water with fresh RO/DI water.

Ok so my salinity levels will are not going to level off? What they were when I set up the tank yesterday is what there going to be for a while right, UNLESS I take some of this water out today?

the salinity will go up as the water evaporates.

what would the ideal salinity levels be at? And what would be good store bought water to add if its too high?
