Well I'm just getting started but keep mines at 1.026. My 4 snails seem to like it. Thinking about taking it own to 1.025. | |

I use 1.026. It's about NSW levels.
Ah. . . seems like you're thinking like an experienced reefer! Sometimes sacrafices must be made in accordance with our limitations. Nice going!

All three tanks 1.24 to 1.26 depending on evaporation. Try real hard to keep them at 1.25 though.

I keep salinity at 1.026; that is the salinity that my collected oceanwater seems to give me.
