Hey all,
I have been reading alot on the internet and here since we started our 29gal SW tank alittle over a month ago.
We will be upgreading to a 55gal in the next month, as we decided the 29 gal just wasn't big enough to hold the LR and fish we wanted to keep.
Anway, In my readings there are majior variences in what people say the Water temp, Salinity, and PH should be. Water temp I've seen between 78-84 degrees, Salinity I've seen between 1.019-1.025, and PH i've seen between 8.0-8.4.
What should thease parameters be at? I understand for Salinity, the lower 1.019 keeps parasites under controll, but that the ocean is closer to 1.023, Some say 1.019 doesn't affect the fish and the water should be kept there. The tempature, right now our 29 gal is at 78, but I read more and more of tempatures between 82-84. What should it be?
Thanks,
