Don't put the tang into fw from a Killi tank. It's pH will be 6.7 to 7.0 while the pH of the marine tank is 8.2. You need to add some buffer to bring the pH of the FW up to that of the saltwater.

When doing a fw bath you need to ALWAYS MATCH the temperature and the pH. Otherwise the fish will go into shock and may die.
