| 1.030 isnt all THAT bad... I think most things can tolerate up to 1.032 before things get ugly.. What you wanna do is, make a dripper outta some hose, tiny hose, make a drip loop and drip the water out of your display and replace with fresh ro/di water as the level goes down, do this until your back down to 1.027-1.028 wait a day then do a waterchange like mentioned above with a lower salinty water. then even yourself out from there.. You wanna lower the level slowly as not to shock things in the tank |
