What temp and salinity do you keep in your reef tank?

[Mustangtodd97]

I'm fairly new to the hobby. Just wanting to see what everyone is is doing, and possibly the reasoning behind it. I shoot for 78 degrees, and 1.024. I have some zoas, lps, and sps. Also a pair of clowns, a yellow sailfin tang, and a blue damsel.

1.026 and 26.6c

I selected these because I trust Randy's opinion

78

 

[BigJohnny]

35ppt/1.026 S.G. 78*F

BTW salinity is measured in ppt, specific gravity is the 1.02etc part

1.026 78-79f

78.8° (26°) is easiest for me to maintain during the summer months so that is where it stays all year. I try to maintain salinity of 35ppt but 33.5-35 is more typical; I'm really trying to get this more consistent but my ATO has been resisting lately (having an issue with the connector on one of the float sensors).
