salinity is low

[Ninaxskymon]

I just got my fish yesterday and I did a water change before drip acclimating them. my salinity is very low even after doing water change before I put them in oh and my redo go is dying. what do I do ?

I'm assuming the fish are in the tank now, correct? You need to slowly raise the salinity to where you want it.
How big is the system and what is the current salinity? What do you want to raise it to? What are you using to check salinity?
Also, what's "redo go"?

My clowns live in a 20 gallon tank and the SG is 1.019, red ogo is just red algae

1.019 isn't super low for fish. In the past I have just topped off with saltwater manually and let evaporation happen.

Red ogo might not be doing well if you didn't acclimate it too. Don't blast it with light but rather ramp it up. Not sue about when you added it, if this is a sudden issue. More info please.

In a tank that small, I guess I would just let evap raise the salinity over time. When it get close to what you want, top it off with the correct salinity.
I'm guessing this is a new tank.

Is this in your sump or display? Just ramp up the lights slowly. Start with like 6 hours and ramp up lighting for an hour every 3 days or so.
