Anemone salinity

[ReeferTang44]

Me being special me I accidentally added to much ro and by to much only enough to move my salinity from 26 to 25 and might have caused my aneneome to shrink should I be worried I got it back up but should it be ok lights also aren’t fully on but it was bigger this morning

Normally looks like

Moving your salinity from 1.026 to 1.025 should not have a serious effect on anything in your tank. Especially if you corrected the issue.

Could it cause it to shrink a little bit

Anemones may shrink in response to low salinity water such as RO introduced but quickly rebound from it. Will this event harm the anemone. . . absolutely not

It could have caused it to shrink… I don’t know a lot about anemones.

My anemones are all at 1.025 .

Many people (including me) keep a constant salinity of 1.025.

Just to be clear, you are talking about 1.026 to 1.025 specific gravity? Not 26 to 25 ppt, correct?

If it’s the former then I would not expect much except for a temporary retraction from the anemone or most coral for that matter.

Yeah 1.025 not 26 I was just trying to be quick was getting nervous

my tank swings that much regularly. When I add RO water or new saltwater they tend to get P' d off for the rest of the day or two. Nothing to worry about.

Awesome, that drop in SG shouldn’t pose much of an issue in my opinion. My ATO will sometimes drop the salinity by more than that with each refill.
