1.027 until skimmer draws it down to 1.026 then I add some salt to the Automatic Top Off (ATO).

I mean, the "ish" is probably the most accurate (and honest) answer on this thread. lol
1.025 here also. Leaves a little cushion either way but rarely changes.

Ideally 1.028 - 1.029 sg or 38 psu. Protien content is highest at this number. Also, photosynthetic rates drop off above or below this number.

Agreed, that is why I said LOL.
Because mine is between 1.025-1.026 and whatever it measures at WC that's what it's going to be till next water change. I find it very hard to get it exact every time now that I'm in a big tank and mixing more than 1-2 buckets.

I will say that when i mix the water the night before it seems to be closer. If i mix 35-40 gallons its spot on, then about a hour later once I've drained water and cleaned rocks and stuff it raises to 1.027/8 and i have to add more water to get it down then it's too low and I have to add more salt. LOL
So now i mix the night before up to 1.023 and the next day it is very close.
The Hannah measurer i use says 1.026 when it first hits the water then usually after it sits, and the timer glass goes away it moves to 1.025. But either way I'm ok with 1.024-1.026as long as only a single digit change during WC.
