At work when I receive a call from my girlfriend who tells me the house is flooded. I have a 28 jbj nano. My reef octopus ns80 hang on the skimmer waste goes into a 16oz water bottle when it collects. Well the airline got clogged and yeah you get where that is going.
Tell my boss I gotta go home because my house is flooded. In however long it drained the back compartment overflow dry due to the water not overflowing. Dumped about 3 gallons of top off water into the tank. My girlfriend tried to add to ro water to try and stop the pumps from burning out that was about 2-3 gallons. Anyways salt is usually 1.025-26. Come home measure it with a refractor and it's about 1.015. If not lower because the water my girlfriend added didnt even cycle through because it wasnt going into the overflow. I really dont know how much water was pumped out. But it was a lot. On the way home told her to cut the power. And here I am now.
My question is how bad is it that big of a swing happen in salanity How quickly do I raise the salt back up? What should I mix the water to? What should i expect to lose? Tank is mainly LPS and zoas. I have a 3 spa coral. Cats paw, birdsnet and monti cap.
