What's your tank temp and salinity?

[Paulo Esco]

Was re-reading this... I think it's an oldy but goody, even if it flies against what most people keep their tank at.

http://www.ronshimek.com/salinity_temperature.html

Dr. Shimek thinks 82*F+ and salinity of 35ppt -- see this:

What's your temp and salinity?

(My tank runs warm at 82-84 and 34ppt, by refractometer -- cuz i'm not bright enough to use a hydrometer correctly).

78-80. Controlled by Reefkeeper 2, and a chiller. SG at 1.024. Sometimes varies by one point because of a lack of ATO but I try to keep it there.

77-78 f, 1.024, btw depending on your sized tank 82 is going to be expensive to run in the winter
