salinity levels?

[cabin7882]

Just wondering what everyone keeps their salinity at because I've gotton so many different opinions. I have a 46 gal tank with 3 green chromis and a clown with no LR and a 1 1/2 - 2 inch LS bed and thinking of getting a cleanup crew. Please just need opinions thanks!

Anywhere between 1.021 and 1.027 is okay, but I'd suggest 1.025.

Hey , there's Bigarn. I was wondering where you went to, haven't seen a post from you in a while.
My SG is at 1.024, I don't know my salinity off hand at the moment but it should be in the 35ppt range.

I keep my mine at 1.021. Is it necessary to be at 1.025 if i have a fowlr?

I keep my reef at 1.026, I keep Sea stars and this is a must for them :joy:

That's a Salinity of 34ppt at a temp of 78F. If you tank is warmer than 78F then you're closer to 35ppt. Without also posting the temperature of the water there's really no way to know the Salinity for the people only posting Specific Gravity readings.
