What Is The Specific Gravity Of Your Tank

 

[spanko]

I keep mine at 1.025-1.026

 

[salt life]

1.024

 

[pezenfuego]

35 ppt which is about 1.026

 

[martymcfly]

I have had mine at 1.022 for awhile now but I plan on adding some snails in the near future so I would like to get it up to 1.024-1.025.

 

[sepulatian]

1.026

 

[life~reefer]

1.025

 

[crypt keeper]

1.025. Plenty of snails shrimop and hermits thriving great!

 

[rcreations]

1.024 - 1.025 for FOWLR.

 

[mantisman51]

1.024 and my hermits, snails and coral are all doing fine.

 

[salami trigger]

I keep mine at 123

You mean 1.023

Consistent SG is the goal. I have an auto top off that keeps it just perfect at 1.024/1.025 right in between.
When I get new coral I check to see what the reading is that they were shipped in...it always reads 1.021 no matter where I order from.

 

[salami trigger]

yea 1.023
They tranfer at a lower sg for several reasons.
lower salt holds more O2
it also helps with parasite on fish.

 

[tigerbarb]

1.030

Nah, it just got kinda high while I was on vacation, and when I attempted to lower it, my shrimp died. My fish seems to be doing good now, though, so there's obviously nothing wrong with a specific gravity of 1.030

 

[tracymace1229]

might want to check your hydrometer to confirm that reading. Red Sea fish would do nicely with that....I think 1.028 is natural for them.
Take a sample to the LFS and see if they test it the same. My Hydrometer just went bad and was reading 1.030, but really it was 1.025

....I accidentally freaked out and did 2 water changes and dropped my SG to 1.022.
I have since bought a couple new hydrometers.
Anyone have a good preference for a refractometer???

Nice!!

1.026, and I don't even check any more, maybe once every six months. Water changes are down to an art, but larger tanks don't show the flaws in minor fluctuations like smaller tanks do. If I had a nano

, I probably couldn't sleep at night.
