SG 1.026-too High???

[dfm34]

I was having a little trouble with my auto top off unit but have since fixed. My SG is 1.026 w/ a refractometer. My cleaning crew is coming tomorow and I was wondering if that is too high? I was shooting for 1.025 if it is too high how much fresh RO/ water do I need to add to a 60 gal to bring it down. I have nothing but live rock in the tank since I just finished cycling.
thanks

I keep all three of my tanks at 1.026

thanks is there a reason for 1.026? I thought 1.025 was the highest, if it works I am not worried just wondering if there is a reason or just choice?

1.025-1.026 works for me

then it works for me too. thanks all :joy:

is that the sg right after a topoff?

 

[dfm34]

I assume so because my auto-top off goes off as needed and I just tested as part of routine. does it matter?

If it isn't after a topoff, then that means that your salt level is higher because of evaporation. But I doubt its enough to worry about.

oh ok I will check a few time to try and get a rew readings before the ATO goes off.
