mixing water & bug question

[bigl21750]

My tanks salinity is a little low, is mixing water with instant ocean and using air for 24 hours to let it mix the correct way to raise salinity, also found little bugs in my tray on my sumps carbon, I think they are ok but just wondering if I should try and keep them in the tray or toss them out.

Yes a water change, and bumping up the salinity would be fine. Age it aeriate it and you should be good to go.
Bugs? Two schools of thought here. Household bugs are not really welcome in my tank but could be considered food for the fish, its what the bugs might be carrying that concerns me.
I will quote a reasteraunt saying: "When in doubt throw it out" Don't you wish that they would follow that rule more often?
