What do you all keep the salt at?

[chocochipper]

I've kept mine at about 1.020 and everything has done quite well so far. I know that is low from what I've read, but does anyone think that it will be bad in the long run?

1.020 is fine for fish only tanks, but should be higher for inverts, corals, ect.. I keep mine at 1.023

Helo,I keep mine around 1.025-6 my ph at 8.4

LionFish says......
I keep my salinity in my reef tank around 1.023 because, like it was already mentioned, it helps corals and inverts. In my Fish only tanks I keep the salinity at about 1.021.

I have a mixed tank - reef and fish
I keep my tank at 1.0235 (it's quite easy)
My temp is 79 (I am planning on lowering to 77 slowly)
I have a 55 Gallon tank:
Proper Range for Salinity -s 1.020 t- 1.026, Proper Temp is 75 to 82
I kinda split the difference - Remember though that not all marine animals come from the same place - even on the same reef you have salinity and temp differences - closer to shore is higher salinity/temp and deeper is slightly cooler.
As our diving team discussed - wouldn't it be nice to note what and where on the reef each animal thrives - it would make it easier to recommend what to get.

reef....steady @ 1.024 @ 78-84 degrees
fow lr/ls....steady @ 1.023 @ 80-82 degrees

I keep mine at 1.021 after a water change, and naturally as some of the water evaporates it goes up to about 1.023.
