I mix the water for a SG of 1.024 but it ranges from 1.024 to 1.025 in the tanks.

1.024 to 1.025 It seems to vary from time to time. Try to keep it at 1.025

My target is to float my hydrometer at 1.025...but that hydrometer is calibrated to 60 degrees F, so my actual SpG isn't really 1.025. I would have to consult my conversion chart....
