Anemone

[AcroNem]

Well, that's probably it. That could definitely upset an anemone and other inhabitants.

Yes well my fish and snails all out doing fine at the moment just trying to get my salinity back up to normal

 

[Nihil]

What is your salinity? How far off is it/how much did it change initially?

It dropped down to 1.022

 

[ronaldo34]

But I haven’t checked it since I last added some salt water again I don’t want to do it to fast

You should definitely check it again before trying to raise it blindly. Maybe you'll get an idea of how much of a saltwater change raises the salinity so you can estimate how much you'd have to replace in total.

During my tank transfer I had salinity all over the map. Things worked out, but I did take measures to get it closer to normal as fast as I could.

Well I’m not just pouring in water after water I poured a little and checked my refractometer as I did , but as of now I haven’t added any until tomorrow

Yes but as of now I can’t keep pouring in water I simple have reached my level of water so I have to wait till tomorrow morning

Water changes will trigger a lot of movement in my nems if I do one. It can also motivate them to split.

If you need to add salt, try taking out a little of the tank water and put it in a bucket and add some salt. swirl until it has completely dissolved and then slowly pour the extra salty water back into the tank.

I get the impression you don't test your water very often.... salinity changing from 1.026 to .1022 is a big change, what happened? Do you have an ATO or topping off manually?

You need to control the water, and that starts with mixing your own saltwater. Buying LFS water is very questionable, when did they last replace their filters for example? Should mix your own water and test often.

Thanks guys but it’s doing way better now everything is good

I’m doing it manually but my anemone opened up again and seems to be doing great and so are the fish
