 Topic: salinity levels requested

I am curious as to what others keep their specific gravity at. Mine is at 1.025. Others, please let me know where your specific gravity or salinity is.

1.025 per refractometer.
By the way, the swing arm hydrometers are crap. never could get 2 that agreed even to a large margin of error. I bought a high precision floating hydrometer, and then finally refractometer. A must have in my book.
The ideas of low salinity being good (1.020 - 1.021) are in my opinion old-school hocus pocus. Do what the ocean does - 1.025 or 1.026 depending on which actual reef you are talking about.

Hi,Jim! Glad to see you're back! Do you think the floating hydrometers are accurate? It's a pain to turn all your pumps off and crap, but I've spent too much $$$$ lately on other crap! Gotta wait for a birthday or Xmas or something...And why do you think it's bad to run salinity low? I want to lower ours a little, 'cause the rotifers like it a little lower.....I'm afraid they will go into shock when I throw 'em in.(Wait, like it matters! They're just instantly scarfed down!)

Suzy, I use the floating type (Tropic Marin). Just get a piece of 2"pvc or similar and glue a cap on one end. Then just scoop water out of your tank and place the hydrometer in it. This also makes it very easy to read.

That is too easy! And I've got some pvc in my useless aquarium crap stash! Thanks! Do you think it's pretty accurate? I've actually got one in that same stash....Do you clean it with vinegar or anything?
