Earlier this week I did a water change on my small 15g column tank.
Since it's in the office and there's not a lot of places to keep freshwater and mix saltwater, I just buy Saltwater from the LFS. In doing so, they accidentally gave me fresh water, and without checking (because I know they usually sell exactly .026 saltwater), I did a 20% water change. I noticed almost immediately all my corals freaking out and receding. I knew something was off about the water, so I checked my tank, and the salinity was at 1.017. That's when it donned on me what happened.
Luckily out of the 3 SPS in my tank, and all the other various corals, only one Acro started dying.
Over 3 days this thing went to white - is there ANY chance of survival or life?
