salinity

[evanjah]

what should my salinity be in my reef tank?

 

[nycbob]

1.022-1.025.

and i would recommend on the low end, this way when water evaporates it wont go past 25

Be careful with posts like this...
The OP asked for salinity and was given his answer as specific gravity. If they disregarded the answer because it's not what they were looking for (*as I would have, since you didn't quote), and heeded yours, it would have detrimental consequenses!
A "salinity" of 25 is a "specific gravity" of or around 1.018, depending on temp of course...

people have to learn the difference between salinity and specific gravity.
Specific gravity= 1.025 hydrometer
Salinity=35ppt (parts per trillion) refractometer
