![]() is NO2 nitrogen dioxide, I think aircare tested my car for that

![]() salinity=1.022(SG)
RO water=no I use DI water.

![]() What brand of test kit are you using? Sometimes Hagen test kits can give you high readings.
Are you running a FOWLR tank? If not, may I suggest raising your SG to 1.025 or 1.026? Also how long has your tank been running. From those parameters it looks to me like its still cycling. I'd just do a couple of water changes to get the ca lower. IMO.

How can I bump up my salinity without just dumping salt should I just make some DI water and make it's salinity at 1.025-1.026 or add salt because I am willing to add water to top of my sump level.

![]() What I've done in the past is just make up some DI water with salt so that its super concentrated. Then slowly add that to the tank until you hit your target.
However, since you're raising it quite a bit (by fishies standards) raise it very slowly. I'd say by 0.001 a day. So take a few days to get it to where you want it. That way they have a chance to acclimate. ![]()

![]() NO2 is nitrogen dioxide NO2- is nitrite I had to look that up, forgot about the polarity. ![]()
