Temp and Salinity

[Michael Rossi]

Starting to make my first batch of Saltwater for my new tank. If 77 F and 1.022 good parameters to keep for a reef?

1.022 is a bit low for a reef tank with corals, but would be fine for a fish only system. Most people shoot for 1.025-1.026 if keeping corals.

Thanks. I'm starting fish only but plan on converting to full reef in about a year. I'll go with the higher scale you recommended.
