Where does everyone keep their salinity levels?

[erich]

I have heard that some corals do better in lower salinity levels. Zoas for example. Any truth to this?

 

[Tgunz127]

I keep my tank at 1.025.... Never heard the lower salinity for zoas theory ...

 

[Lil BamBam]

I have seen some do better at 1.23, but 1.25 will be your best number.

I keep mine at around 1.026-1.027. I like it on the high side a bit. I have a lot of zoas and they are all doing good at this level.

 

[BradB]

I try keep mine at 1.25

 

[redline10000]

I like to keeping mine between 1.023 & 1.024

 

[Greg]

1.0255 - 1.0260 for acros

 

[Gary]

1.026

 

[Smitty]

I keep mine between 1.025-1.026

 

[Tangency]

1.025 -1.026

If NSW is 34-36 ppt/sg = 1.025-1.027 I would think that a keeping a lower SG would have undesired results.

 

[Aabjones888]

I keep mine at 1.025 to 1.026 with good luck also

 

[EricTheRed]

1.025 -1.026

If NSW is 34-36 ppt/sg = 1.025-1.027 I would think that a keeping a lower SG would have undesired results.

I've often thought the same thing. I keep mine at 1.025 to allow a little wiggle room.

I heard it was easier to maintain Ca/Mg/Alk at high sg..I was at 1.0245 but recently moved to 1.026..all params are up to and Zoa's and everything else is finally starting to grow! Also I'm using RC salt.

35 ppm

 

[edsbeaker]

1.025-1.026 for me as well

 

[DD]

1.025-1.026 for me too.

 

[icedearth15324]

1.024-1.025 for me.

1.026-1.027 I keep mine on the higher side as well. My coral seem to like the higher levels, but caution should be taken as some fish do not tolerate the higher levels as well.
