QT higher salinity than DT and about to move fish

[Court_Appointed_Hypeman]

So I was just about to move my fish from QT to my display, and I just realized I never checked my salinity in the QT with my new method I've been using the last few months, with my TM high precision hydrometer. So I just checked both.

My display is .002 lower than my QT. To my knowledge it should be fine to plop them straight in, but I wanted to check.

Do I need to acclimate for a .002 salinity reduction?

The fish moving are a halichoeres wrasse, a bristletooth tang, and a lawnmower blenny

absolutely a non issue.

They are going to be so happy with the new aquarium and all the extra living space.

The salt difference is inconsequential

For clarity, you're going from something like 1.027 to 1.025,,, that kind of difference, correct?
*no big deal (IMO) but I'd still shoot for some kind of drip acclimation (or "scoop a bit every so often" acclimation)

 

[Court_Appointed_Hypeman]

Thanks guys! I am actually already drip aclimating them because I chickened out, but yes it's 1.0279 to 1.0260.

My DT has dropped some because I have inadvertently removed some water, and my QT was measured to 1.026ish when established but used a hannah stick not knowing how far off it was, even freshly calibrated.

They have been in QT for over a year due to dino battles in the DT, those 3 fish have been model citizens in that 20 gallon all this time, but finally they get to go to an appropriately sized home.

Holy!,,, uhhh,,, cow (I guess).
You're obviously way more diligent than I, sir. Good job!
