Hi all,Well I did something really stupid and then something else that was just as stupid...
I ran my RO direclty to my sump to add some water and naturally ended up forgetting about it for almost 12 hours 50gal per day unit- so I reckon I added around 20-25 gallons into my 75, the sump did obviously overflow but I lowered my salinity level to a level that my cheap unit did not even register- 1 have 3 of the cheap ones.
The corals didn't look horrible yet so I decided to drain out 10 gallons to replace with a batch of higher salinity to help level off. I had about 10 gallons made that I was going to add extra salt to to put into the tank. I ended up knocking over a glass with 2 cups of raw salt into the **** display tank!!! that I had intended for the 10 gallons I had made.
I then quickly pumped the 10 I had made into the display.


Right now the level is 1.018- I used to keep it at 1.026,,
Any advice would help
My hammers and frogspawns look terrible, my anemones are all shriveled up but appear to be fine.
My 3 turbo snails look frozen, arnt moving, I am about to trash them I think they are dead.!!!
Thanks.
 
Cut off a to let tank return to normal through evaporation check your alk it should be 2 dkh under your normal so if you run 9 it should be 7 do not adjust this as wen you sg returns to normal so will alk
 
Dont get in a rush... what is done is done. Just do 5-10% water changes daily with your original batch of 1.026

agreed. I did i water change with ultra high salinity once a few years back to compensate for the same thing you're going through, and it did way more damage. Lesson learned.
 
Inverts are sensitive to sudden and drastic salinity changes. Smell the turbo's if you think they're dead. A pungent, rotten smell like no other will tell you it is. Remove them and small gradual water changes should set you back on track.
