I think the last couple of threads it was determined he was not using RODI to top off. OP, what is the current situation with all that? How big is your tank?

Can you guys help out with my question

Do not add any more additives to tank and do your water changes and get levels down before adding any corals.

 

[mannyfresh78]

You should do at least a 35 - 45% water change but don't use tap water use filtered water

 

[mannyfresh78]

I say that so you do put a dent on them numbers

OK so you guys say its it safe to do my first water change? I didnt dose anything at all in this 10 gal!

Have you figured out the salinity issue? Also make sure to test the alk of the water you are doing your water changes with.

Kinda confused. Did you do a water change or not?

 

[Bradsreeeftank]

I tried a water change a few days ago but didn't impact it, this time ill do a bigger one.
