Salt level

[Whitegurl84]

I did a water change and don't have enough salt and the pet store is closed the level is a little low. do you think my clown will be ok till tomorrow when I can get more salt?

In regards to your salinity, how low is "a little low"?

 

[Whitegurl84]

It's at like 1.019, I tried to look at walmart but all they have is freshwater salt

The clown should be fine until tomorrow, what other life is in the tank (inverts, corals?). What was the salinity prior to the water change?

I just have him and some live rock, the salt level was at about 1.023

Well that's a bit of a sudden change, but your clown will be fine. During hypo-salinity treatments people drop the salt level way lower than that. The only concern is the sudden change.

should be fine. But try to raise it slowly
