| 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.
