Re: the right salinity I'm assuming you mean 1.025-1.026 right? *Many fish stores keep their specific gravity at 1.019 to help prevent certain types of problems such as ich.
There are some threads here with the question of specific gravity and what people keep it at
...here is one.... http://www.3reef.com/cgi-bin/yabb/Ya...249256;start=0
*I keep mine at 1.026, and that is just me. *People keep a range of about 1.020 up to 1.030.
Hope that helps...  _________  I Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
