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.

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.

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
