How large is the tang? Why is your ph so low? Have you been checking the ph of the fresh water that you are adding? The SG should be brought to 1.009 over 48 hours. You will need either a refractometer or a glass hydrometer. Plastic swing arm hydrometers are not accurate. Bring the SG down consistently over the 48 hrs, smaller amounts at a time rather than large water changes. Feed him Nori sheets which is dried seaweed.
