In the future, if your tank can handle it, think about adding a fuge to propogate some pods, your blenny will love you for it, as well as the frozen mysid shrimp!

Originally Posted by smd747 I purchase my saltwater from my LFS. The owner says he has his water at 1.026 specific gravity. I was wondering if I should continue to only use his water or if I go to another fish store to get water and their water is a lower specific gravity will it harm my tank...
