downhill_biker Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 1.024-1.026 is what i keep mine at. this range is kept fairly close, and checked weekly. i dont change it very fast, but through skimming it will drop over the course of a week.

puntific Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 If your salinity has fallen, how fast would you raise it. Mine is at 1.022. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylaster Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 i would say your safe to raise .001 per day, thats what i have done or vice versa and have never had any negative effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 In general .01 per day is a good number to raise it by. I have raised it as uch as .04 in the past and have had now issues at all. Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriswaters Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I mix a cup or two until saturated then add it to the sump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I would make up a bucket of salt that is higher then the tanks SG. Then add that to the sump/tank. If it it needs to be done more then once to reach desired SG, do WC's with the higher mix. Just take your time as not to stress the system.
