I doubt that salinity in a reef is 1.022. Do you successfully keep any SPS at that salinity? if so, what do you keep and for how long?

I would not keep a reef tank at 1.022 but that's me. Things grow much better and faster at 1.025 or near that.

SPS don't like "spikes"

other more resistant corals will probably be ok.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
