[quote=gregzz4;885157]I'll assume you meant 1.029 salinity ? Not 1.29

Yes 1.029

Agreed it's a bit high. Just bring it down slowly and you'll be fine
And IMHO 27.8c (82f) is a bit high as well, but that's just me

Lowered it to 75 f

Did you test your WC parameters before doing the WC ?

Yes

Nitrate was high 5.0ppm

Other than that everything was fine.


It's always best to check before tossing the new water into your DT

I always like to have my SG matching perfectly, and my temp very close, before dumping it in

Beyond that, I like to keep an eye on my big 3 in case it'll upset my corals

What kind of water are you using to make your new salt water (NSW)?
Tap ? RO ? RODI ?

Tap water with prime

What are you mixing it in, and if you're using a powerhead and/or heater in the container, are they intact ?


Mixed it in a bucket with power head.
