Your salinity is too high, here are some charts with temp corrected values

would wet skimming bring it down?

.028 is too high but you also don't want to drop it too fast either. I think th erecomended rate is like .001/24 hours. You can do a search adn find the recomened rate as to drop it.

Skimming will not dring it down, however evapration will bring it up.

oh if there is no live stock at all you should be fine dropping it quickluy, sorry if I didn't see that in your post.
