[chaniz]

Bro,

what is your SG level for this tank?

1.020, ..21, ..22, ..23, ..24 or 1.025 ??

My fishes doing well but corals (mainly LPS) not very well .

Some not even opening and some dying.

Please help.

currently 1.020

[VanDeam]

Mine is alittle high bro .. henry from mL told me its ok for SPS . so hard for me to recommend .. i trying to lower my SG to 1.026 or 7 .. mine is roughly 1.028 to 1.029

So high!

Your fishes can take it??

[Kenji80]

Haha you should ask him what is his KH level.

[colinsoon]

fishes can take it as long as they are not shocked by the sudden change in SG/KH level. i have seen fishes survive for years in an SG 1.005 environment. it could be less, cos its juz damn low. and the marine fellas all grew up and grew fat. 2 fox face and 1 convict. same thing for hgh SG level cases.

[jasment]

actually it will be good for a reef tank or fish only tank to be in the region of 1.025-1.027... though fishes actually survive better in lower salinity levels cause they will need less energy to clean their kidneys off the salt. please dun ask me to show articles, i remembered read it somewhere and this is believe it or not..

anyway, for a much different salinity, bro colin is correct to say that there must be proper acclimatising period for this change.. and bro chaniz, 1.020 is a little low, and if you insist on that, please acclimatise the ls properly over a period of days and not hours,, bro vandeam, yours a little high leh.. waste salt la... 26-27 will be good...
