Salinity levels???

[Convict2161]

What do you keep your tank at? What's a good number. I just took mine it's at 1.024 I thought that was low no?

Side note where can I get a good refracto for a decent price? Hydro is done with everything in my tank I wanna be sure now.

1.026 is the natural salinity of sea water. I keep mine around 1.025 1.026 consistently.

BRS has a decent refractometer:
Refractometer for reading salinity w/ Free Calibration fluid - English

What I like about it, and what I wish I had known before i purchased mine from Marine Depot, is that the BRS model comes with calibration fluid. This is a must since it seems most manufacturers don't calibrate them for you.
