I maybe found a clue for you MB breeders in the pdf. Has anyone tried to increase the salinity within 3 or so days to open sea levels (~1.025)? Maybe in combination with a decrease in temps.

We haven’t discuss cooler temps I think. The ocean near the pool could be a little cooler though.

I had tried full sea salinity twice...once with sea water and another time with aquarium salt mix........ they didn’t survive any longer than the higher saline water

What was the highest salinity you used again?

When I mixed aquarium salt, I used 1.026. I didn’t measure the sea water I got from my fish supplier friend since...it’s sea water..lol
