Buck0land was nice enough to stop by yesterday and test my PAR. Everything seemed pretty good, a range of 150-450. He suggested I bring my salinity up to around 1.025sg (currently at 1.021 sg). I'm trying that, and also replaced the chambers on my RO/DI filter which were overdue. I'll keep you all updated with my progress!

Now it is, thanks to everyone's feedback. I've been topping off with saltwater, and did a water change yesterday with super-saturated mix. This morning it was at 1.023, I'm hoping to bring it to 1.025 by the weekend. Hoping to get my new RO/DI filter by Friday so I can do a couple 10% water changes.

I grew up in PCV!

Also, if you are going to raise you salinity, you can do it slowly. Rather than using super saturated water, i think just topping up with saltwater for a little while would bring up your salinity gradually and not shock your tank.
