Hello,
I just got some new corals a couple of days ago and they haven't been doing so well. I got them from a really good coral dealer so i know that they're good. A torch coral hasn't extended it's tentacles yet, and a SpS coral has been almost entirely bleached in two days. My levels have been steady for quite a while but i haven't been monitoring SG. I have one of those plastic Specific Gravity testers with the swinging arm, and i know they're not the best, but it has been pretty accurate. Today the SG is 1.030. TOO HIGH I know. So question is, How do i lower it? I'm going to go the LFS right now and buy some Salt water and some RO water. how should i best normalize the levels?
And, should i be doing topoffs with fresh water instead of salt? i never really thought of that until now.
Please help, Should i move the corals into a separate container with new fish store salt water? what do i do? AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHH
