TTM WITH LOW SALINITY

[Ibrat82]

Hi Guys

I picked up a powder blue tang this weekend and the lfs was running hypo at 1.010. I matched that when I brought the fish home in my qt. I slowly raised it to 1.015. I’m not a hypo fan and have never done it. I prefer ttm. At what salinity should I bring it upto before doing ttm or is it safe to do at 1.015?

you can have it at that salinity with no issues. It will also save you on salt.

^^ Agree; you can start TTM now @ 1.015

I know that there are several vendors who run their fish systems at a similar level. I would start there, through TTM perhaps, but raise salinity gradually (as through evaporation) before moving him to your full-salinity display.

Fish can go into lower salinity much more easily / quickly than into higher salinity.
