1.03 seems pretty high. I'm 1.026. Remember that consistency is more important...if that makes sense. 1.03 would also be sort of a waste of money because you would be using a lot more salt.

1.025-1.026, IMO, is ideal - though temperature is also a consideration. This is especially true if you have invertebrates. 1.030 is pretty high, all considering...having said that fish are pretty tolerant of salinity changes and so 1.030 to 1.025 is not all that much to worry about.

Those are SG readings, not salinity.
Now you can shoot me.
Salinity would be measured in ppt, right? Who uses ppt? Actually I do
35 stay alive.

Used to keep mine at 24 and now I am up to 26 trying to stay level at 25.
That's pretty low, unless you're talking about specific gravity and mean 1.024-6...then you're in range

Just a side note. A major reason for acclimating new arrivals. Check the salinity of the bag water your new arrival are sent home in. You will be surprised

I check the salinity of the LFS water and when I get fish or inverts shipped to me and it is always around 20-25 ppt. I drip acclimate them for around 2 hours and get the salinity to match my Q/T tank. just my .02

That's less than freshwater's specific gravity! lol, just kidding. I know you really meant 1.026.

Don't have to...but if you want to, do it slowly. VERY slowly, but you probably know that already.
