What is your Salinity? -Reef Tanks
 

I have always keep mine around 1.023 - Is this ok?

That's a bit low. Natural seawater is about 1.026 on tropical reefs. Most polls I've seen online confirm most people are closer to that value.

1.025 - 1.026 for me. :wink:

ditto :biggrin:

Same same:biggrin:

Dumb question... could this be why my leather corals have'nt fully opened up as much as they should? As I mentioned in my first post, i have always kept my salinity at around 1.023 with no problems, but then again I have never kept leathers just colts, polyps, mushroom and galaxia.:redface:

no, not likely the cause, 1.023 is not far off proper levels, and I can't imagine that your corals would not expand because of it.

Leather corals can be pretty cranky at the best of times, IMO. Mine only seemed to open up fully for a few days every once in awhile. The rest of the time they were only slightly open or sloughing off tissue :confused:

1.025 for me

1.025 also
