I realize my earlier comments may be misleading & does not paint LFS in a good light. To clarify, many LFS ensure corals are stable before selling. But very often, it is we reefers who rush to get the nicest pieces because the demand is high. And may end up getting newly imported or fragged pieces (which may have less time to stabilize) For a given amount of water, salinity change at various temperature because of water expansion/contraction. Hence the preference to use PPT (parts per thousand) instead of SG(Specific Gravity). 35ppt is 35ppt regardless of temperature.

Regarding salinity: Salinity is something to validate. Very often we think our refractometer is accurate but can be way off in reality. For mixed reef, the correct salinity of sea water is 35ppt = 1.0264SG. Many think 1.025 is the target number. This is acceptable but the correct target should be 35ppt (1.0264). Next, how sure is one that the refractometer is correct? Recently I was chatting with a reefer who was sure his salinity was correct at 1.025SG. But upon validation, found it is actually in the 1.03+ range. Optical salinity refractometers are to be calibrated with RODI at 20deg C (not room temperature). Do a simple test of going into an air con room & test your refractometer with RODI water. Check if its at the zero point. If not, there could a contributor to fundamental water issues. Old corals in the tank may be accustomed to it. New corals from LFS will be shocked by the difference & can shrivel up. Most LFS run their salinity a little lower. I make it a point to check the salinity in the bag. If its very far off, I'd acclimate over many many hours. I agree to the various points mentioned by otaku reefer. Also on the point to take your time to inspect without feeling 'paiseh'. Ideally, purchase corals/fish that are in the LFS for a couple of days/weeks (i.e stable). Flash sale or auction pieces are usually newly fragged pieces (especially for torch & gonio). This is a risk & trade off for getting good deals of beautiful pieces on shipment day. So weigh your options. Also, torch corals are known to be sensitive & finicky. Even seasoned tanks can experience similar issues with newly purchased corals.

Bro, no need to feel paiseh, inspect to the last drop lol, same concept as u buy house all these u will keep checking mah lol..Just to share my experience, try to go early and not till shop closing, got 1 time i went near closing time and felt paiseh and impulse buy a torch which don’t normally pass my own QC standards lol, oh well it is what it is..move on.. Also for fish i *always* insist LFS to feed the fish to confirm feeding b4 buying besides checking for skinny tummy or external parasites. If the shop bo chap u, just walk away.. remember u r paying customer, customer is 99% right lol... Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
