Thank you so much for the feedback! Qt tank will be started ASAP!

Now my local fish store said for fowlr tanks to keep the salinity between 1.02 and 1.022. It helps keep the parasites away and that what the store keeps theirs at. Do you recommend this? I no itS usually around 1.024-1.026. I haven't read to keep it lower anywhere else. Also so crabs starfish...

So for the qt tank it has the heater and pump set up in it as we'll? Do you put sand or rock in it or just water? Also after each fish if they seem in good health do u change the water? And do you keep the salinity the same as your tank or slightly hypo?

Newer to the salt water tank world. The tank we bought was already established with fish. We were looking to add more and I read about a quarantine tank and fresh water dip. What's the difference: personal preferences On this? How long do you usually qt them and is it in a mini tank set up? Thanks

Oh and tank has been cycled. We bought it off craigslist and it was running for 5 years prior and we've had it for about 9 months..

We had been on vacation and my brother topped out tank off twice with slat water so the salinity was high. It's almost back to normal now... Not going to get it for a few weeks until everything has checked out for a few weeks straight. We have a 75 gallon tank. Temp 80. Nitrates 0 ammonia is 0...

I had two clownfish and one had died a little bit ago. I wanted to introduce another clownfish an anemone in but heard the clown fish can be aggressive if not brought in together. Any advice on this? Thanks

Thanks for all the help... We just did a 5 gallon swap for salt water for freshwater and it had a .005 drop to 1.035. We're going to just to 5 gallons a day and hopefully the fish will all make it! Thanks again

We just did about a 20 percent change with store bought salt water. I checked the parameters prior but it didn't lower it much. Should I do fresh water over a few days?

75 gallon

Hi, I have a fish live rock tank and I am new to salt water tanks , but I had brother watching my house for a few weeks and he topped off the tank with salt water not knowing. My sg was 1.04. What can I do to lower this! None of my fish have died yet thank goodness.
