add water!!!! you should top off with freshwater daily. since the salt doesn't evaporate you should be equalizing it all out.

your salinity is just a ratio of salt to water. if you add more water it will go down, if you add more salt it will go up! once you get your salinity/sg set all you should have to do is freshwater top offs. rarely should you ever add saltwater unless you are doing a water change and only then should you add the same amount of saltwater that you take out

get it????
