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 .

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

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.

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