Tank salinity poll

[lceman225]

What is the salinity in your reef tank? do you notice a significant growth difference at higher levels than lower?

I currently have mine at 1.0235 but was advise to keep it a little higher at 1.0245.

 

[psteeleb]

1.025 for me

I keep the specific gravity of my tank around 1.024-1.025, the salinity is about 34ppt.

1.025 (34 ppt) here.

I run 1.024 in all of my tanks now. I am having a problem with the Oceanic salt and ph though at that level.

[Bpynckel]

35ppt salinity for me

 

[melev]

1.026 is the goal, but it drops down to 1.025 from time to time.

1.024-1.025, I would keep it at 1.026 but I don't have an auto topoff so it give me a bit more leeway in case I forgot to topoff.

 

[fangeo]

I am with you Fperkins I did a lot of reading all over the place I run lower as well 1.021-1.022

 

[fperkins]

Just needs to be within the acceptable range and based on the type of livestock.
