Salinity Question
 

what is the best level to keep salinity at??

natural sea water is arouind 1.025 and the red sea is hangin around 1.027
its up to you in the long run more salt higher salinity less salt less .

Usually around 1.025 -.026 for me.

I aim for 1.026. Used to run at 1.021 when it was only a marine tank to save on salt but after converting toa reef its best around 1.025-1.027.

1.026 when I check.. :confused:

1.025 I feel it gives me a small margin because I don't have auto topoff.

What sort of differences would be visible if a guy or gal changed from say 1.023 to 1.025? other than buying more salt !

Less green perhaps :lol: :lol: :lol: :confused:

Up until a few days ago I've had mine at 1.022 but I've since raised it to 1.024 or 1.025. I've noticed that my SPS hasn't been extended as much and I think that might be why.

i used to keep it around 1.023. now i keep mine at around 1.026. i found that my corals look better when my salinty is higher.

There are quite a few running at 1.025!
I may have to start slowly increasing mine!
