ATO on during WC. 1.025->1.023

[Mindblock769]

So I performed my very first water change and had a .002 drop in salinity. I think I added in a little less than what I took out due to pump losing suction. I let it be and the ATO took care of the rest.

I'm now reading 1.023 versus 1.025.

I only have 2 clown fish in the tank.

Is this anything to worry about? Lesson learned on this first change.

You can slowly bring it up by adding a slightly higher concentration of saltwater every 6-12 hours or so. Add a bit, let it circulate for an hour or so - then test your salinity again. It doesn't need to happen overnight, and over the course of a few days is probably preferable.
