I did a stupid thing...

[APISTOBORELLI]

I left the RO/DI going on the QT tank all day. Don't know how but I forgot to shut it off. I'm sure the water by now has no salt in it. What do I do with the fish? Can I use water from my tank and the re-treat them again? I'm such a moron.

 

[maxfischer]

is the fish still alive? if so i would test the water and see where your at. bring it back up slow.

 

[APISTOBORELLI]

Still alive, looks fine actually. I'm bringing it up slowly now.

What was the SG when you stopped the freshwater input?
Musta been hypo-hypo-salinity? Lower than 1.007?

 

[APISTOBORELLI]

I panicked and didn't think to check. It's at 1.006 now

 

[~Flighty~]

Thats quite a FW dip. Go very slowly on bringing them up. Up is much harder on them than down or staying at a low salinity. Keep an eye on ph and maybe add a buffer.

 

[APISTOBORELLI]

Thanks all. I figure I just gave myself a good 3-4 week project I wasn't planning on..

Hope it works out Mark

 

[reefsmurf]
