beefus Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I understand many people with reef tanks keep salinity higher than standard fish tanks, I am curious what the reasoning is for this? Is anyone growing a great reef tank at 1.021 ? any changes when you moved up to 1.026? Link to comment
21093r53 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 i keep f/o tanks around that but reefs at 26 Link to comment
jeremai Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 people generally keep fish only tanks at a lower salinity as a prophylactic against disease. reef tanks are generally kept at natural ocean salinity, since lower salinity doesn't offer any benefit. Link to comment
boscoT Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I keep mine Around .024-.025. Always have even in fish only tanks. I prefer .024 just in case I get some salt creep up Link to comment
beefus Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 ohh, I thought it have something to do with keeping more trace minerals and buffers per volume. I'm assuming that helps in a reef setup too. Link to comment
