    I dont have a refractometer yet but the hydrometer i use I keep it at 1.024.

    Though I had a problem recently with my sump and since removing it the DT has dropped to 1.020. Im slowly raising it back up over time.

    I love "back from the dead" threads!

    I keep mine about 1.027-1.028 right now, will be slowly bringing it down in the coming days.
