Start running some carbon and do a 10 or 20% water change to start. Match temperature and salinity. Do this every week or every 2 weeks (I do 10% weekly on my tank).
Imagine living in a small space with 5 other people and never opening a window. Thats been their life for the last 6 months. They'd probly like a breath of fresh water

you bet. Usually what I do is make up the water the night before. Have a heater in there and a power head as well. Get the temp etc the same as your display tank and then the next day you're good to go.

Fish tanks are kept at low salinity because it is more likely that fish won't develop disease because many parasites can't tolerate low salinities. They also do it to save on salt (in my opinion). However, corals do not tolerate lower salinities. I would keep it no lower than 1.023 or 1.022 if you're really that interested in lowering the salinity. There is nothing wrong with 1.025
Yes use prime (careful with that stuff, never overdose) and match the salinity and temperature to the water in your tank and do a water change.
