Sounds like a reasonable plan. I would think 2-3 litres a day will do the job until you get it down to where you want it. Some people (inluding myself) maintain their salinity at 1.026 so you do not have to drop it down that much if you don't want to.

So anyways, I wanted to bring my salinity back down to 1.024 and my plan is really simple. I don't want to do it all at once of course but I figure if I pull a couple of litres of SW out every day and top back up with fresh RO water that should be slow enough do you think? The system is a 100gal display with ~40 gallons in the sump.
Is my plan to aggresive, or to conservative? Should I maybe just do my adjusting during water changes? Let me know what you think.
Cheers
