Mixed reef salinity

[Aquattro]

Reality is, based on the results here so far, that some people do not use enough salt. I'm curious as to the reasoning used to come to that decision. Did someone tell them it's stoopid and fish don't like salt? Trying to save a couple of bucks? Read it somewhere and think it's good advice?

We spend so much time dosing and measuring and tweaking to make sure everything is just right, but then don't add the right amount of salt....weird..

i also agree i have mine at 1.026...now.... i was using stupid hydrometer instead of a refractomer and to m surprise my salinity was at 1.036 for an undetermined amount of time.. i think my fishfeared i was making fish and chips but seemed healthy enough. but wheni dropped the salinity i had a bit of a hiccup and lost a few fish regertfully. now i watch more closely
