Someone please help!!!
I have a pincushion urchin who’s been dropping spines… I thought it was shedding… I have really high nitrates and low ish salinity 1.021 ish and Ive been trying to bring up slow due to being told urchins are sensitive and the last water change I did is when he started dropping. I have cyano too.
I got home about an hour or two ago and he was UPSIDE DOWN!! So I flipped him over the right way but like on his side where I can see if he’s eating. He’s moving but not a lot. He ate I think but idk how much. I have a 10g tank with NEW live rock and just added new saltwater at salinity of about 1.023-1.024 and I can always add RO DI to make it match my tanks water
HERE IS MY MAIN QUESTION:
can I just match the temp and salinity from my current tank to my 10g and just move him and my fish over??? Or do I have to acclimate for the nitrates??? Please help I’m so worried and idk what to do… do I need to acclimate from HIGH nitrates to LOW as in 0 probably Nitrates?? Unless the LR created some but idk if it did obviously… any help is needed please..
