    1.025 is fine...but after 2 weeks with no WC or top-off it's going to reach 1.030, which is on the high range, pretty easily.

    Well yeah it can be there...just saying it is a bit high. I've had mine that high before without realizing it. I try to keep it 1.025-1.026.

    Not to say that is the only cause of death to this chromis, but maybe that salinity spike from DT to QT along with already being stressed.
