Yesterday I did a large water change and installed a new sump, total system volume about 110 gallons, water change 30 gallons. I switched salts to aquaforest. When I checked salinity with my hydrometer it was 1.027.
Came home today to cloudy water and all corals unhappy, fish seem to be fine. I have yet to start my protein skimmer back up. Checked all parameters and all seems well, temp is 79.2 degrees. Measure system salinity with my refractometer and it came to 1.030, a bit on the high side. Took about a gallon of water out and replaced it with rodi, current salinity is now 1.027.
Water parameters as measure by api:
Ph right about 8.0
Ammonia is at 0
Nitrite is at 0
nitrate is at 0
Phosphates is below .25
I also checked calcium and it came in at 480
