Natural seawater is 1.026 which is where my reef stays. Why would you want it any different?

That's not technically true. Average Seawater has a salinity of about 35ppt but the Specific gravity varies a lot depending on the temperature of the water.
If you only have a hydrometer then I agree that 1.026 is a good Specific Gravity to maintain.
