Hows your salinity?

[fishguy007]

salinity is 1.025 about maybe 1.026

[christyf5]

How old is your tank?
What is in it (fish/corals)?
What are your ammonia levels? Nitrate?
Are you running carbon?

[fishguy007]

tank is about 6 months. ammonia and everything is fine.

just a few leathers and such and a few fish .,

[christyf5]

Start running some carbon and do a 10 or 20% water change to start. Match temperature and salinity. Do this every week or every 2 weeks (I do 10% weekly on my tank).

Imagine living in a small space with 5 other people and never opening a window. Thats been their life for the last 6 months. They'd probly like a breath of fresh water

[fishguy007]

perfect. will do

so the water that i am adding. i will prime it and should i make the salinity of that water 1.025 as well.

[PoonTang]

No need to prime it if you are using RODI water (which you should be). Match the salinity to your tank ( 1.025) and temp too.

[Rbacchiega]

you bet. Usually what I do is make up the water the night before. Have a heater in there and a power head as well. Get the temp etc the same as your display tank and then the next day you're good to go.

[fishguy007]

i actually wanna drop the salinity to 1.020. most pet stores sell the fish at this salinity

[PoonTang]

Nope. leave it at 1.025. Drip acclimate any new things you bring home.
