1.025 for my reef tank - 1.023 for my FOWLR. Make sure to check with your LFS or livestock provider on their measurements since livestock acclimation could prove costly if you are very far off of their measurements. Many LFS's keep their Salinty low due to cost of having to add more salt to their systems.

I keep mine at 1.024-1.025 to match my LFS where I shop. I'm not adding any more fish (I think?) but this still makes acclimation easier since I don't drip acclimate. Where I live there is only one LFS that I choose to use. Early on I stumbled across this idea of trying to match their water and it has worked well for me.

i ALWAYS drip acclimate for the simple reason of... WHY NOT??????????

but trying to match the LFS is a good idea

Gina · 04-10-2006, 06:28 PM

Salinity kept at 1.026.

daveat · 04-10-2006, 11:20 PM

maybe i should raise mine ??? is 1.024-25 too low?

billyr98 · 04-10-2006, 11:29 PM

1.025-1.026 for me!

cracker · 04-10-2006, 11:41 PM

How much of a change can an average healthy fish take in an hour of acclimation?

Witfull · 04-10-2006, 11:43 PM

i always salt and pepper my fish~

1.025-26 as my daily evap cycle fluxes~
