Hey folks, im new to this and having serious problems. I have all the time in the world to take care of my tank but it is all dying.
read post in newbie section please.

How about you tell us a little bit about your 20 gallon death trap :)

What animals do you have in there? How long has the tank been set up? What are your parameters reading at? What kind of maintenance do you do? More info is important, and I'm sure when we get some answers that we will be able to brainstorm through your problems and turn your tank around.

Welcome to the site. Hopes your luck changes soon. I know it can be frustrating but it's worth it in the end.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys/gals. This morning is much better after doing 90% water change last night. Everything is now flourishing. Two damsels are very active and happy. Added more live rock and found 2 emerald looking crabs but only dark gray. The salinity is betwee. 1.021and1.022. I am going to take 2 gallons out and add a higher solution of salt water to get it at 1.023 to 1.024

 

[daugherty]

mix the new water at 1.25 and it will get you about there.

 

[fellers]

Roger that

 

[daugherty]

only change a couple gallons at a time and give it a day before doing it again if needed

 

[dcantucson]

You can also take a couple of gallons out and then DRIP the new water in over a course of 3 or so hours. That way you're acclimating them to the change.

 

[fellers]

Good idea. I will do it that way.

 

[yote]

Or just top off with saltwater mixed to your target salinity.
