Just bought first tank extremely high salinity

Manually replace 1 cup of water with RO water every hour until you get your target. Could also speed it up to every half hour. Drip would be ideal but a cup at a time is gradual enough I doubt you’d shock anything. This is assuming they aren’t showing stress. If they are I’d step it WAY up. But I’m no expert good luck!

The clownfish seems to be doing alright, but the Damsel is hiding, and has nearly no color, so i am very concerned about the Damsel.
 
Welcome to R2R and the wonderful folks, information and help.
Patience, it is the big word around here, Reefing is patience to cycle, to watch things grow, to keep your tank balanced.
I recommend to everyone joining to create a tank build thread.
1. You get to see where you have started and how much you have grown in this hobby.
2. We love pictures and to see what your doing with your tank.
3. It’s a great learning tool for all of us to see what works and doesn’t . We learn great stuff from each other.
Lastly the only bad question here is the one not asked...
