his sig says "33-gallon mixed reef & freshwater cichlid tank." So it must be like a brackish tank.

Its also a good idea to let the newly MIXED SALT WATER age for a day or so before adding it to your tank.

I have never heard of anyone adding fresh ro water to a marine tank when doing water changes. Just cause you have "always" done it that way doesnt make it right. No wonder your SG isnt stable.

Or its marine before the water change and then cichlid tank after the water change.

Hey could it be possible he has used the term Water change when he meant water top-up.

BV-Reefer were are you?
