1.023 to 1.024?

[phoenix001]

Quick question. My skimmer went crazy overnight and filled the collection cup and overflow cup creating a minor flood within my stand. Prior to this incident I was stable at 1.024 but now I am at 1.023 - probably not a huge deal but if I wanted to raise the sg back to 1.024 could I do my next water change with say 1.026? I have a 140 gallon cub with a sump - total water volume is around 180 gallons.

Not a big deal at all. Can correct now or at next WC IMO.

It is generally considered safe to adjust up sg by up to .002 per 24 hours.

You can reduce sg a bit faster but always go slow when increasing as that is more difficult on the fish.

I find it's easiest to just use saltwater to replenish evaporation for a while.

I use evaporation, I drop the sensor for my ATO a little till I get my sg back where I want it then next wc just fill the sump to where I want and readjust my sensor. Any of the things suggested work fine.

This minor change is nothing. Either let some water evaporate or like ya said...add at 1.026 ish.
