usually between 1.024-26, except for when i'm running the fan to cool the water and I have evaporation, then it is around 1.028 but I get it back down again gradually with no ill effect. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

For fish-only tanks, 1.023 SG
For Reef Tanks, 1.026 SG to match the 35 ppm of Natural Seawater.  _________ Curt  | |

I would agree with that too Monacle. Fish may fair better at lower SG and inverts to fair better an normal NSW SG. Most of this revolves around osmoregualtion.

Is that pic just a ref. guide or are you cheating on us and running your tank at 1.0245 = 33 PSU  _________ Boomer Want to Talk Chemistry ! The Reef Chemistry Forum
