yes the water quality is number 1. undetectible nitrates, phosphates, ammonia and nitrites. Problem is that the fish was kept at 1.017 at the store and my tank was at 1.023. So I acclimated him during 4 hours from 1.017 to 1.023. Could this have caused the pop eye? if so, should I put him in low salinity with epsom salt?
That's my frag tank and it's been setup for about a year and he's the only fish in there, so water is quite good. All my coral are thrving in there and I do water change 15% every week.
I have added 1 tbs of epson salt in 20 gallons. Is that enough? I have coral in there so I did not want to put more unless it is safe.
