I bought hermit crabs and beofre letting them in my tank I tested water they came with.
Ph 8.6 - API test
SG 1.035 - el cheapo reflectrometer calibrated against precision hydrometer, tested twice as I couldn't belive it.
I'm rethinking the idea of buying any fish or corals in there. Sailinity so high can't be good for anything.
Crabs are doing fine but they are hardy buggers, still, took me a whole day to slowly dilute that sailine they suffered to sane level.
