That is somewhat puzzling as to what you're refering to.

I have been keeping mine steady at 1.025 for the past few months... might try 1.026, but if I let too much evaporation happen then my salinity gets too high, so I am keeping it safe at 1.025.

*ps* my corals seem to like the higher salinity too, as oppossed to 1.022, 1.023, etc...

is there someway to vote here or is this it and someone uspdated the count?? anyhow i like to keep my reef tank at 1.024 now does anyone know what the diff is if it's higher or lower?? :question: :question:

You have to be logged on to vote, (but obviously you were cuz you made a post). The "ballot box" is at the top of the thread. Just click on the dot that represents your choice.

Hey, wait a minute. I see what you mean. Voting looks to be closed. I already voted, so maybe that's why I see it as closed? So I couldn't vote twice? (Like I would really want to! :lol: )

Cheers,

You can only vote once. After that it just shows the votes.

it just shows the results...there seems to be no way to vote cause i haven't voted, yet it is still closed to me.

Hey Edmontonians,

Have ya noticed that LFS's here (AI & BA's) have their salinity quite high.

The reason I know is when I have purchased livestock (inverts, corals, or fish) I test my bag water before acclimating the species. The LFS's have all been ranging 1.030. + ! :eek: I wonder why that is?

I keep my salinity at 1.024-1.025, so I find acclimating takes longer for me, which is a pain.


:neutral:

I think anything above 1.026 is not a good idea because saltwater holds less dissolved oxygen (DO) than fw & the higher the salinity, the lower the DO. My Fowlr's usually at 1.024 & the reef at 1.025-26.

whoops dont know what i was thinking... salt would go up with more evaporation right? i was thinking the opposite..

duhhh brain fart, sorry. :confused:
