Over the last week or so mu torch has been looking worse and worse each day. Not extending and very light in color. Last night I noticed it was almost fully retracted and nearly white. I couldn't imagine what could have been wrong.
I tested for everything except SG and everything looked fine. Since I do weekly water changes I waited until then to check the SG. it was 1.032! Holy crap! How did that happen???? I never mix to more than 1.026. Where did all that salt come from???? Any way, I'm going to lower it over the next week or so by doing water changes with lower salinity water. My current mix is at 1.022. Doing 10 gallon water changes I should be ok in a few days.
Okay, so is my torch going to make it? I didn't know they were that sensitive to SG. Should I see some recovery once the reading drops? How long?
