My salinity at 1.023-24 should I raise it to 1.026?
No that is fine.

My salinity at 1.023-24 should I raise it to 1.026?
would recommend mag to be 1400ppm.alk between 8.5 to 9.2dkhIt was at 1305 last time I checked. But after I did water change went down 1260.
Yes I want to achieve 8.5-9.5 dkh. However my alk always between 11-12 alk. Been using reef crystals.would recommend mag to be 1400ppm.alk between 8.5 to 9.2dkh
Don't ever do this. I got lucky.Alk at 9 is great. Running your tank at 11 will do amazing things. But it is right on the edge of being dangerously high. I try to run everything in the middle if at all possible. Things will and do happen that can something to spike or plummet. Being in the middle as much as possible gives me room to correct the mistakes before bad things happen.
No don't do anything actually, best to let it come down naturally, check tomorrow and see how much you consume a dayMy salinity at 1.023-24 should I raise it to 1.026?
So you recommended I should get the Hanna checker to test dkh?Don't ever do this. I got lucky.
It's one of the few I would use yes.So you recommended I should get the Hanna checker to test dkh?

Is that density or specific gravity? With density, 1.023-24 would be perfect, with specific gravity, 1.026 would be, with salinity 35ppt would beMy salinity at 1.023-24 should I raise it to 1.026?
I used Refractometer to test and the salinity around 1.023 to 1.024Is that density or specific gravity? With density, 1.023-24 would be perfect, with specific gravity, 1.026 would be, with salinity 35ppt would be
Yes I am sending an attachmentCan you post a picture of the aquarium?
Curious that after 10 years, there is still so little demand for alkalinity that the salt mix keeps alkalinity that high.

Never thought of it. so the reading when tested with Refractometer it’s salinity or gravity? I am confused now.Just to be clear, that is not salinity. Salinity is a number like 35 ppt or 35 PSU.
1.023 is likely a value for specific gravity, but as noted above, it is ambiguous because density numbers also look like that but are different.
The refractometer is just giving you the result in a value that is more useful, it’s measuring in one thing but then saying it’s equal to another, eg it’s measuring the refractive index of the water but giving the reading in ppt.Never thought of it. so the reading when tested with Refractometer it’s salinity or gravity? I am confused now.
