Have had it for 2 weeks, drip acculamate 3-4 hours
ammonia 0 to.25
ph 8.0 to 8.2
nitrate-0
nitrite-0
salt 1.022 (too low?)
aprox. 75 lbs live rock-really hasn't done much since I got it, 7 years ago
So I got new lights 1st of last month new filter at the same time Lost my sailfin. Had for 10 years.
Seems like now that I want to move on with things. It's not going to happen without a hitch. I still concider myself beginner. Don't venture too far.
Have a BCS. condy, 2 clowns. angel and a newsail fin( he seems to be doing fine)got him at the same time as the star.

Most starfish ailments are due to issues with acclimation. On a side note, changing to new filtration might have caused a cycle in your tank. I'm always skeptical about 0 nitrates.

1.022 is to low for inverts especially inverts like the linkia stars that are super sensitive to salinity ad changes in it. it should be closer to 1.025-1.026 and kept stable do you have a auto topoff system or do you do your own top off and about how much is evaporating at a time.

Absolutely
1.022 is very low for inverts, especially stars.
