Decrease Salt Salinity

[pwilson]

Please someone tell me how to have my tank decrease the salinity.. Their was too much salt added.. I have emptied 20 gallons of my 75 gallons and I still have a high salt content... My nitrates and Nitrites are perfect.. the only problem is the salt...

Exactly what is the "salt" reading?

i am new to hobby also, i had same problem and just took out about 5 gal per day and added fresh water until salt was at 1.025. I don't know if this is right but it worked for me, now my salt is where it should be and i check every day. Hoped that helped but listen to the experts, i am new also.
