Hi! Okay I need a straightforward answer to this question. Here goes: Can you drip a fish from 1.017 salinity to 1.025 salinity over a two hr period 4-5 drips per second or broken stream....after one hr empty half the water....drip for 1 more hr check salinity of is at 1.025 add fish to tank....my question is ONLY if you purchase from a LFS. P I am not asking about lowering salinity in a QT tank to match the LFS etc.. I am just asking if raising the salinity 7 or 8 pts in two hours would kill the fish in a matter of days.....
Is this acclimation bringing the salinity up to fast in to short of a time frame....anytime I have tried this the fish died within 4-7 days. A LFS I go to swears by that method. I now only buy fish out of tanks with salinity at 1.025.
Please help settle this for me....what do all you tank experts out there think? Thanks in advance. .......
