Setup:
5gals
2 goniopora
1brain

Ph: 8.2
Nitrite: less than .1 or maybe 0 hindi kumulay
Ammonia: less than .025
Specific gravity 1.022-5

Arrived home fish is gasping for air. Didnt know it could do that as the sea never runs out of O2 unlike FW fish. Flow is excellent in tha tank as well as surface movement. Cant see how O2 is the problem. Running an airstone right now to maybe help

New tank? This sounds like another victim of Carti sales talk..
