Stuytown reefers?

Buck0land was nice enough to stop by yesterday and test my PAR. Everything seemed pretty good, a range of 150-450. He suggested I bring my salinity up to around 1.025sg (currently at 1.021 sg). I'm trying that, and also replaced the chambers on my RO/DI filter which were overdue. I'll keep you all updated with my progress!

SG 1.021? Why so low? Fish don't really care much, but that is way too low for corals and other inverts. 1.024-5 should be your target.

Now it is, thanks to everyone's feedback. I've been topping off with saltwater, and did a water change yesterday with super-saturated mix. This morning it was at 1.023, I'm hoping to bring it to 1.025 by the weekend. Hoping to get my new RO/DI filter by Friday so I can do a couple 10% water changes.

...realize I said 1.021 twice in my earlier post, meant 1.025

I grew up in PCV!

Also, if you are going to raise you salinity, you can do it slowly. Rather than using super saturated water, i think just topping up with saltwater for a little while would bring up your salinity gradually and not shock your tank.
