Salinty from 1.028 to 1.026

fishkeeprian · 10/24/2021, 01:55 PM

Hello my salinity was at 1.028 and I was advise to remove 17l of water over 9 days to bring salinity down.

I've messed up and miss read the info and removed the whole 17l in one go out of a 150litre tank.

Is this a major issue?

Thanks

Not to worry, salinity can be dropped quickly in 1 shot.
Raising it however should be done slowly.
