After u do a water change how long should u wait to check the SG? Mine before was 1.020
ccCapt said:You should check the salinity of the new water before it's added to the tank and it should match what's in the tank unless your trying to raise or lower the tank salinity. But anyway, you can check it a few minutes after you finish the water change. 1.020 is way too low. Should be 1.026.

When you lose water from evaporation don't add freshwater, add saltwater.How do u get SG to go up other than pwc

but most salts take a bit to fully dissolve.
