Salinity needed for reef tank?

[Batmanjay28]

What is the Salinity needed for a reef tank? Lows and highs.

Temp. lows and highs. Thanks

Good parameters to work towards are....

Salinity - 35
Specific Gravity - 1.023 - 1.025
Temp - 76 - 79f

Ranges I recommend for salinity, etc:
35 ppt salinity or 1.026-1.027 specific gravity (35 ppt and 1.0264 is average)
Temperatures from 79-82 degrees (82 is natural average)

 

[SuperScro]

Anywhere in that range is good as long as you keep it stable.

I shoot for 79-82 as well.

Good info I keep my stats right on line. .23-.25 and 79-82

What about Ca? I tend to shoot for 450.

Same here.

I keep my tank at SG 1.025+/- @ 79F (average). I may bump it up eventually when I go reef. As previously stated, the average SG/salinity of natural seawater is 1.0264/35ppt.
