thanks for the advice myka,

I dont have another tank unfortunately. I did notice a gazillion tiny baby snail shells in my sump :-( i do have a refractometer thats brand new and calibrated like 2 weeks ago.

ok, so I decided to swap out 30 gallons of mixed up 1.04 and I move to 1.017 from 1.015. im gonna leave it for today

i realize it will take more water and salt to do it this way but my thinking is that water changes will help keep my levels in check during this process?

you think I would be safe doing a 30 gallon change each day until I get back to normal? figure it will take 4 more changes. or will a 30 gallon change at 1.04 not raise it .002 as the salinity increases?

i dont mind doing the changes, I have 2 r/0 machines running that can give me 30 gallons of R/0 in an hour.
