Purchasing B. Cardinals

[mbenson]

I have a Saltwater tank that has sat empty (except 1 red legged hermit) for sometime. All #s tested look good:
No2 0
No3 20
Ph 8
KH 240
78 degrees
Salinity 1019
My concern is Salinity. BC prefer 1023 per 1 post I saw. Accurate? Ok to purchase or H20 changes first?

Bumping this up for you

Our tanks are typically at 1.025, but that is due to the corals. You will find that many stores keep their fish in lower specific gravity (1.020 I think) and fish can do fine. Can you find out the sg of the store you wish to purchase the fish from?

Store I will purchase from keeps tanks at 1022-1023.
I am doing H2O changes to reach that #.
Thanks all!
