Fishes won't react :P But the corals will. Fishes just need salt in the tank...corals needs the required amount :P

You can keep softies in almost anything like 1.021, which is ideal for fish only systems (not the delicate ones like ricordia ofcourse) but for pretty corals, you should aim at something 1.024 to 1.026.
Awsome thank you...and Wow 1.031. Thats higher :biggrin:

Higher SG allows for the supersaturation of calcium and Alk.

mrhasan 09-25-2012 03:57 AM
You are welcome :D

And yes 1.031 is HIGH :P My hydrometer was ditching me (so I got refractometer; much much more accurate). Took my water to LFS for analysis and they were like 1.031!!!! My hydro was showing 1.021ish LOL

Yah. During my 1.031, the guy at LFS was doing the titration and he was like WTH why isin't the calcium reading coming and at 550ppm the color changed :P

Yah get that. Specially before you get the corals.

BTW I also kept some really delicate corals at 1.021. LOL. I am still maturing my salinity. This is the MOST variable parameter in a nano.
