The LFS that I deal with uses a SG of 1.024 for the reef section tanks and an SG of less than 1.018 for the fish only tanks. This is a well established store and they very knowledgeable. Their tanks are very well maintained as are the fish.
I would like some other opinions here on SG and acclimation.
I keep my reef tank with button polyps, leather toadstool, zoos, greenstar polyp and pimple mushroom along with a false perc clown, firefish and bi color pseudochromis at 1.026 sg.
I recently purchased an Elibi Angel from the stores fish only tank and the SG was less than 1.017. The fish was active and eating before I bought it....I acclimated for about 2 hours to match the SG to my tank. It died about 5 days later.
MY question is: Is that too long to acclimate and is it too much of a SG difference. for a 2 hour acclimation.
Another store I sometimes visit,,keeps their fish only tanks just as low.
Thanks
