inverts need a higher SG of 1.024 minimum for them to live long healthy lives, running at a lower SG makes them more prone to any sort of ailment. and often the cause of death cant be figured out but it will definatly tie in to running at a lower SG.
You people are killing me
I've been using this thing to test...
I've been assuming that the 1.021 was the salinity, but thats actually the specific gravity? And the numbers on the left side is the salinity... right?
Ok so since I have both fish AND inverts.. what salinity should I have and what SG should I have????
We acclimated it the exact way the site though it said 1+ hours we aclimated them for about 3+ hours and no, I don't believe it was dropped, I'm almost positive it was placed into the tank.
