    well, once again ive had a problem with my hydrometer....my tank looked a little strange so i took a water sample to a buddy with a refractometer....its reading 1.030!!!!!!.....my gorgonians are starting to melt away and im pretty stressed out.
    i know that its not a good idea to bring it back down immediately, what should i do???..how quick should i bring the salinity back down???

    just remove a small amount of saltwater daily and replace with ro/di

    i think per day would be okay..i've done it even faster than that and everything be okay..but i would go with one per day
