Why is there so much confusion and conflicting advice over the recommended specific gravity of the saltwater for keeping reef?
My LFS says go with 1.025. Lots of reputable sources on the web say go with 1.026 (1.264 or 35 PPT to be exact).
Many users here target 1.025.
And Reef Crystals' salt instrucrions recommend a range of 1.020 to 1.023 at 75 degrees. Well, that's great but if you're using a refractometer that auto temp adjusts, then what? Not to mention their target not in the range of 1.025 or 1.026.
