I overlooked the tank size. Belay that last comment.

So are you keeping your SG that low or are you raising it to 1.026?Let's give a little update:
- Clownfish are eating and acting like normal in QT along with the leopard and Melanurus wrasse that were already there
- Snails and crabs are still going strong in DT
- Worked on my GLH 4E the last two days. 76.3 degrees, 1.0229 salinity, 8.0 ph (willing to wager that it would be closer to the previous 7.4 during the deaths since there are currently zero fish in DT)
- Going to get a line from outside to my skimmer to hopefully help with ph
The only conclusion that I can come to is possible CO2 issue based on very low ph level. Other than that I'm at a loss
The fish come out of QT on 07/04. I'm going to put them in an acclimation box in QT. It's the biggest one Octo makes that I won here on R2R! This way I can monitor them and remove if any signs of an issue arise.
If anyone thinks of any other potenta issues please feel free to throw it out on here and I'll answer to the best of my ability
For your salinity hook up your ATO to you SW storage. I did that on mine to slowly raise up the salinity. Or mix a 5 gallon bucket to a higher level say 1.030 and pull from that for your ATO.I'm going to raise the salinity up in the next week.
The RO is something I havent tested at all. Besides TDS, what tests can I run on it to check for issues?
With a 6 stage system, that water should be 0 TDS going into your storage container. When was the last time you swapped out DI resin? What’s the numbers going into and out of your RO membrane?Any salt that gets put in is via a 5 gallon bucket right now (ATO system is a work in progress). We run the RO straight into the sump to a set point.
As for RO water, I just check the water and its 17 ppm before the di resin and 1 to 2 ppm after right now. It's a 6 stage system with 2 DI resin containers
