Im one step closer to turning my FOWLR into a reef tank because I installed my new lighting tonight. The next thing I need to do is fix the specific gravity. I am getting a reading of 1.022. The problem is I buy the natural sea water from catalina island, ca from my LFS. When I first started the hobby the water I was getting was 1.024 but now everything has been 1.022. Maybe its been raining out there, I don't know. I do know this is a sign I should start mixing my own. But for now my plan is to top off the evaporated water with more saltwater, until I can get it up to at least 1.023. Does that sound reasonable to do that? Also, is it very bad to keep coral at 1.022? I will probably start off with LPS but eventually get a couple SPS too. Thanks again.
