I ran out of top off water the other day and with my fan blowing on the tank I love a little over a gallon a day.
Normally I keep it at 1.024
Not its 1.027

I have never seen such great polyp extension on some of my sps.
My fish seem to be fine with it. Should I keep it where it's at or go back to lower levels like 1.024/ 1.025?
 
My specific gravity is normally kept at 1.026-1.027. Haven't had any problems with fish or inverts.
 
Personally I wouldn't be too worried, my SG has been between 1.025-1.027 and I have never had an issue. As long as it's not an instant change, and a slow change instead, you shouldn't run in to problems. Since you said everything looks to be healthy, it should be ok. The organisms themselves are the best way to tell if your parameters are in check!

+1 on that 1.025 1.026 is a good level to stay with. Always use ro/di water for topoff so not to raise level.
