Salinity are 1.00 after topping off tank!

Post by SherriO »

I’ve always just used distilled water to top off the tank and salinity has stayed consistent. This time, salinity dipped down to 1.00! Help! I ordered salt from the store here, but is there a quick fix??

What salinity is it normally? Check it again. It takes time for the distilled to thoroughly mix with the rest of the tank water. Give it 24 hours. The shrimp will be fine. Do not panic. They are tough.
