I tried that and failed. I am also a perfectionist when it comes to water quality but it just doesn't happen. With experience over time, you will be able to keep it intact.

FYI average seawater is 35ppt and is what most people shoot for. This is 1.026 at 77 degrees if you get yourself a temperature compensating refractometer (they usually also display ppt), if not there are charts as the salinity changes with temperature to achieve 35ppt.

SG means "specific gravity," which is what most of us are measuring when we say "salinity."

A specific gravity of 1.026 equates to a salinity of about 35 ppt.

No worries. You'll never learn if you don't ask.

Sometimes, being dumb before being sorry is better in this hobby. Sometimes, you might have to hear harsh words too but that way, the things will be in your mind for longer time :P

MY motto is it better for people to think your dumb for asking questions than for them to know your dumb from not asking them. - I try to apply to as many aspects of life as possible .
