I am new to this, my tank has been up and running for 4 days with nothing in it. I have checked the salinity all 4 days and it reads .0124 to .0125 is this a little high?? I plan to put live rick in a week inside it. :confused: :confused:

I agree that it is fine but, being new to the hobby keep in mind that as the water evaporates, your salinity goes up. I have read that 1.020-1.023 was normal for fish only but that 1.023-1.025 is better for reef. I keep mine at about 1.024 which leaves room for evaporation. You also need the lr in as soon as possible for cycle. Welcome to the hobby, and have a great time. Unsolicited advise......Take it slow and do as much reading as you can..
