Definately dial back your skimmer
Ideally your skimmate should be darkish, like regular to strong tea

Where do you get this info from? 1.023 is lethal why? Most of the LFS that i've been to keep there salinity at 1.021 And also can you explain how skimming is removing salt out of the water? I had this discussion with another newbie on this site and his answer was that another member told him this. I could'nt find the thread until now. I have never experienced any such thing and I empty alot of skimate out per week with an evaporation of 10G of water per week as well. It's topped up with fresh water and no salt added. I'm looking forward to hearing a solution for when my skimmer starts to make my salinity drop so I can fix it.
