OK, I was doin my water change, and apparantly, I misread my hydrometr and thermometer or something, but hte water I added to the tank was too low on salt and temp.
The tank temp dropped from an even 80 to about 76, and the SG from about 1.021 to about 1.0185 (understand that reading it isnt perfect)
The only immediate problems that have arisen so far is my ricordia, its arms seam to have ballooned, filling up with i guess water, making it look somewhat rigid. No discoloration or anything, I am going to let the heaters take care of raisin the temp, and am slowly adding about a teaspoon of salt every 5-10 minutes.
I am hoping that y'all will tell me that I am not going to lose anything, that everythign wil lreturn to normal over time. In about a week or two, when I get the larger tank I am workin on up, I will be switching to store bought SW from the LFS, which should at least keep me from mixin in the wrong SG. (which I am guessing what is causin the ricordia to look like this)
The two new clowns are looking fine, and acting fine, as are al the inverts.
