Eyes Cloudy

Yes, I think I got it low too low. I got it at two marks above the one. The fish seem to be doing fine, though more lively eating better, and my purple tank got color back, but it’s like two small dachs above the one. Maybe I got a different track thermometer. Again, I want thank you for all the time you put into this for me. I really appreciate it, Jay.

Google "BRS reading a Refractometer". They have some Videos on how to read them.

Question I have a friend breaking down his tank and offered me a couple of fish, is it possible to place them in my tank with the salinity low for fluke, is there a way to bring it down like in a day so they would be used to it and survive

That’s probably not a good idea for a couple of reasons; 1) you really need to take 36 to 48 hours to lower the salinity on those fish, 2) it complicates things adding new fish to an existing treatment. You’d likely need to start the 30 day period over again, just to be safe.
