tank water salinity
So i bought my self a refractometer and checked my water it was at 1.030!! so i started to lower it with RO water, its now at 1.025.
would you guys think my SPS and fish should be ok or was it to drastic of a change, i did it over a couple of hours.

Well, the deed is done so what we think is probably a moot point. Keep an eye on your livestock & wait it out, hope everything makes it.

What size of tank? I would imagine that every thing should be ok, just might be a little POed for a day or two.

Lowering salinity is easier on fish than raising it
Not sure about inverts and corals etc Next time you run across this problem, try lowering it just a point or 2 per day where your whole tank is concerned  BTW, do you know if your new refractometer is calibrated ? Most are out of the box from what I've read, but wouldn't hurt to check
