My bio cube 29 has been steady now at 1.026 is this too high? A friend is telling me to lower it to 1.024. I'm not buying it. He has had his tank longer and I don't wanna sound like I'm bragging but... My tank looks better then his ;)

So.... Is that salinity ok? I've read that it's fine at what I have it at.

i keep all of my tanks at 1.025. This allows me a little leeway either side if it gets a little too high or a little too low.

The ocean is at 1.026 so I feel my tank should be at the same the fish and coral have come from, only makes sense.....

I run mine at 1.025 as well.
Tank looks great Dino!! Good stuff.

Thanks!! I'm trying real hard... I'm soooo OCD but I think that helps :)

So should I be concerned about my salinity or just keep on trucking?

Thanks again for your kind words!! Makes it worth while :)
 
I'd just keep doing what your doing, no arguing with results like that.
Ohh....OCD can definitely help in this hobby!! I'm not certified or anything, but I'm the same way.
Best of luck!!
