LOL....You have a 29G....so w/o knowing what you did....do MAYBE 1 gallon....wait a while...test.....
The important thing is to not change the salinity too fast....
after changing the 1, see how much it changed.....depending on that will depend on what you do next....maybe do another gallon before bed.....

First you do not want a drastic change...do a little at a time....
It's ok if you decrease fast, but it's not ok to increase fast.
From Beth:
"Hyposalinity is a procedure involving lowering the salinity from normal tank levels to 14 ppt (1.009 Specific Gravity) over the course of 48 hours."

It's going to take gallons to affect it, not just simple top offs

I don't.
I use RO/DI water.

RODI= reverse osmosis/deionization. The deionization gets it down to 0ppm. Straight RO will not do that. Yes, a proper RO will dechlorinize. Depends on the membrane. Plus if it has a carbon cartridge it will help rid the water of chlorine.
