Fishes won't react :P But the corals will. Fishes just need salt in the tank...corals needs the required amount :P

Awsome thank you...and Wow 1.031. Thats higher

Higher SG allows for the supersaturation of calcium and Alk.

You are welcome

And yes 1.031 is HIGH :P My hydrometer was ditching me (so I got refractometer; much much more accurate). Took my water to LFS for analysis and they were like 1.031!!!! My hydro was showing 1.021ish LOL

Yah get that. Specially before you get the corals.

BTW I also kept some really delicate corals at 1.021. LOL. I am still maturing my salinity. This is the MOST variable parameter in a nano.
