ditto, also you might want to be careful with a 50% water change, if your new water is not the same sg, it could shock fish/coral in the tank with a fast sg swing. i am pretty new to this as well 5 months and counting. there was someone who did a 50% wc and killed some of his livestock and I believe it was a bigger tank. Just an fyi
