Looking good so far @ 1.023 SG, thanks to my Hanna Salinity tester! Bonus entry! More to come...

Cool! I'd bump it up a bit if your intending a reef tank. Fish only would be fine. :)

Thanks! I've got it steady at 1.024 now... better? Why higher though?

Thanks! I've got it steady at 1.024 now... How's that?

That’s good but get to 1.025 or 1.026.

 

[Mountainreefer4339]

Ok

Why that high?

I have the same tank. Hopefully we can help each other lol

No, is a 1.024 is little low, but it could work as a hardy coral reef or fish only. Still I would aim for 1.025 or 1.026.

Ok, thanks for the help. But why the higher salinity? Everything I've read says 1.023-1.025 for a reef.

Everything I've read says optimal salinity of 1.024 to 1.026 so I stick to the middle.

It’s just the optimal level for keeping corals healthy. If you kept it at 1.023 some of your corals might struggle. So that’s why I would recommend 1.025-1.026.

I agree
