If you up the salinity to 1.014 or higher the dragons don't get tumors. My Dragon is in full marine water and I have no problems. He gets fatter and longer every day.
Craig, we have to take into consideration the health of all of those guppies and the five bumblebee gobies in the tank too. It would take a long time too get the salinity that high. Besides, we don't know that that isn't too high of a salinity. For all we know it might be just as harmful as freshwater. Just because you haven't had problems yet doesn't mean it can't happen. Pufferpunk's goby lived for eight years in freshwater before it got the tumors.
I know what the problem is in my tank, and I'm working to solve it. The nitrates are too high and the water is too acidic. What's surprising is that a violet goby would become ill before the little bumblebee gobies and guppies. I haven't seen any signs of the other fish getting sick or dying.

Is a big water change OK, because I gravel vacuumed two five gallon bucketfulls of water out of the tank lastnight. The only reason I didn't put the water back in is because I was sick.
What a coincidence that you would mention the crushed coral. The bottom of my new 210 gallon tank is covered in crushed coral. I was just going to get rid of it. The only problem is that right now the water level is too low to run the filter so I only have the sponge filter on. Could I just put some of the crushed coral in the tank?

The violet goby is in a 55 gallon tank (it probably only has around 40-45 gallons of water in it right now), with many guppies, five bumblebee gobies, and a few ghost shrimp. The SG is 1.005.
I still have to remove the crushed coral and add water to the 210 gallon tank, raise the SG, and add substrate to make it ready for any fish.

That sg is too low for a violet goby. They need at least 1.012. Not all brackish are created equal. Some need a higher salinity than others.
