marinekeeper Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Lower to about 1.024 for reef. 1.021 is fine for fish only Link to comment
Lalani Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 No need to panic and don't change the salinity too quickly. Lower it slowly when you do water changes, and bring it down to 1.024-1.026... I keep mine at 1.026. Link to comment
StevieT Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 if the tank is still cycling, nothing to worry about. You can just replace some water with fresh to lower slowly, since you are not doing water changes at this time. Link to comment

TheWeaz Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I actually keep my tank at about .027.. I wouldn't stress about it. . Link to comment
DESERTHEATRACING Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I recently bought a calibrated refractometer and realized my tank was at 1.028. I brought it down to 1.025 and my LPS have improved BIG time as well as all my softies. Link to comment
