Sality

[dolphins8426]

What does eveyone keep their specific gravity at? Is it better to keep it a little lower or higher than 1.024? Mine is between 1.024 and 1.025 constant. Should I keep it more around 1.023 to 1.024 or is it fine where it is?

I would keep it lower. 1.023 at the highest. I let mine fluctuate between 1.020 and 1.023

 

[dolphins8426]

Really? I didn't think you could keep it that low with corals in it. Hummm. I am going to drop it slowley down to 1.020-1.023 and see how things work out. Damn I am confused now. DOH.

With lower sality will it make corals grow easier and fish breath easier? Maybe that is why my xenia is moody.

The average salinity at most coral reefs around the world is 35ppt or 1.026. Some places, like the Red Sea, it is even higher.

Thats where I keep mine.Constant 35ppt.

 

[cthegame]

i keep at 1.025

 

[dustin_P74]

i keep it at 1.024-1.025

For a fish only,no inverts 1.020-1.021.

For a reef and inverts it is more ideal to keep it close to natural seawater like Capt mentioned.I keep mine at 1.025.

 

[Bifferwine]

I also keep mine at 1.025.

 

[Piggy]

Mine is 1.025

Thanks. Mine is 1.024-1.025 so it seems like I am in the ball park of the rest of you. Thanks again
