I could lower the salinity a bit maybe around 1.021 or 1.022? and then acclimate the trigger to this from 1.017? That would be around .04 to 0.05 points, is that ok?

Acclimate him slowly. Remember, it's much harder on the fish to go from lower to higher salinity than vice versa.

Yes I know. now the tank is at 1.022, so that would be 0.05 point. but how slowly? 3 hours? 4 hours? more? After 2 hours the salinity in the bag is now at 1.020.
