Alexraptor Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 1.025-1.026, allthough have been over 1.030 a couple of times over the years without adverse effects. Link to comment
piano15 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 no worries about the highjack. Love talking about reefing, we don't always have a problem to discuss so this type of topic opens up a discussion of many:) Link to comment

Cencalfishguy56 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Yessir Interested in trying this ATO out and messing with it a bit to see how efficient it can truly be back in the days where i thought i had a clue.... i had no idea. but i did have a nice progression! oops we're hijacking. sorry OP. Even then you had a nice little tank man! Haha Link to comment

Combine it with a slow top off pump since it fills quite a bit from min/max. The tom's aqualifter pump is cheap and works perfectly with it. Link to comment

Yea I read that I'm honestly hearing all good things about it except the fact it fills when its a little late but still in good time haha Link to comment
slugworth Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I am keeping LPS (hammer, torch, duncan) and have been following the instructions on the back of the Coral Pro container for a SG of 1.023. Are you guys recommending it should be at 1.025? Link to comment
piano15 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 slugworth, I was doing some reading on this very topic and apparently corals do best with 1.024-1.026 but my old tank was always at 1.023 and everything in my tank was doing great and growing. How long has your tank been up and running? Link to comment
slugworth Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Tanks has been running for ~3 months but only added coral in the last 3 weeks. They are all looking happy with full extension, although not sure what the time frame for visible reaction to SG problems are. Link to comment
Mike Savage Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 1.023-1.025 and see no difference in that range. 78 degrees too. Link to comment
CronicReefer Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If it is a FOWLR many people keep salinity lower (1.020-1.023) to help keep the water oxygenated. Most reef systems are run at around 1.024-1.026 to match NSW levels as most corals do not respond well to extended periods of low salinity. Link to comment
