Anywhere between 1.021-1.026 should be just fine

Ok ya that's what I have been thinking, just want to make sure!!

Better to be safe then sorry.. I have 2 tanks running right now and they're all around 1.024-1.025

That's what my tank is, I still need to get a refractotomer

With no refractometer that's where you think your tank is lol

Yeah... what he said lol

 

[Monroe10]

Yes but I borrowed my buddies and that's what it is lol

I have a large glass hydrometer that has always served me well and is a fraction of the cost of a refractometer.

Refractometer for reading salinity w/ Free Calibration fluid - Bulk Reef Supply

BRS sells a very decent Refractometer for a decent price. Looks as if it is out of stock at the moment (they probably sold out as it was a doorbuster on sale during cyber monday for like $25) but I am sure they will have more soon. It gets discounted around 15% during a group buy... you can sign up for the latest group buy here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forum...rs-group-buy-join-now-236737.html#post2229963
