[_Alex_]

seems a little low... also what are you testing it with?

 

[iloveswfish]

hydrometer what do you think it should be i have read anywhere between 1.022-1.026

 

[Cubbies]

You should invest in a refractometer. They REALLY makea difference.

 

[iloveswfish]

Could be too much light..........

 

[reid429]

My softies like the 1.026 range

 

[iloveswfish]

i have my lights on from 3-11 there has never been a prob before this zoe was doing okay and now it is not same with one of the ricordia and the ameome it is screnking

i would stretch it out to ten hours of lighting and try to get ur salinity to 1.025 and keep it there
