We had a cold front in FL and my room temp hit 65. I have a heater in the tank keeping at 79.
When I did a salinity test it read 1.030, but I let it sit for a bit and it went down to 1.025.
I guess my question is how do I know when I have let it sit to long or not long enough? If my room temp is 70 for example and the test is supposed to be reading it at 78-79 degrees am I functionally getting a false reading?
I have had no major issues recently, but my torches have not been fully expanding, and this morning it looked like I found the tip of one of their polyps in the sand bed so I just want to make sure salinity is not the issue.
Nitrates are 5, phosphate is .05 if that helps
