Salinity

[gpwdr]

Hi Tim,

Could you explain the NA reading on the test results?

Macro-Elements
Element Analysis Setpoint Deviation Warning lamp Liter
Na 10754.00 mg/l 10700.00 mg/l 54.00 552

What do most of the EU reefers keep their salinity level at? 1.025 or 1.026

Hahaha, Eu reefers keep Salinity as the same level as US reefers I keep mine at 1.025 1.026

 

[Jason mack]

1.025 is what I keep all three tanks at.

Hey Gene I'm here!

So, Na (Sodium) ideally we want it around 10700mg/l but as we know sodium is only one component of salt water so we also want the rest of the macro elements around where they need to be to get us the right salinity.

We recommend that your salinity should be around 35ppt or 1.026, no matter where you are in the world

Thanks Tim, glad to see your still around. Will you be at MACNA this year? If so see you there, you'll get to see Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
