Guys,

My floatswitch stuck and overflowed the tank with about 15-20 gallons of water in a 100 gallon system. Walked into the kitchen to find the whole room flooded.

Cleaned up and checked salinity - 1.015.

Not too incredibly low since I run it about 1.022 - 1.023 anyways. But I want to get a feel for whether I should hurry and get it back up or take it slow.

Nothing looks stressed ATM.

TIA,

~chris

I've done this way too many times.

Shouldn't be too big of a deal. If you keep SPS, you may have a few RTN/die.

I'd start topping off with 1.027 saltwater and do a 20% waterchange soonish.
