    I try to keep it at around 1.024. The tank does seem to run low.

    Same here. I like it when the tank dips down to 79F, but that's only in the dead of Florida winter, and I'm afraid those 2 weeks have passed! ;)

    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! ;D;D

    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.
