Help! Salinity drop

Simple answer.

So your salinity is alittle low1.017 to raise it up to 1.024 I would add half a cup of salt to 1liter of your tank water and mix it up then use an air line hose and let it siphon in. Should take 2 min, or just dump in a cup of the premixed saltwater every 5 mins.

I like this idea, snails are actualy quite resiliant as they will pull inside the shell and aclimatize themselves most of the time. I would do like sugested maybe I would go a little harder 1 cup of salt desolved in a L of your water and add it over 10 min. wait a hour and see how much it changed then you know how much you have to add, leep adding every hour till it is normal.

if you want to be more cautious then go with the recomended 1/2 cup of salt.

I know on my system (120 gal of water) i have brought it up with 3 cups of salt an hour mixed into the sump with no issues.
