 Re: salinity for FOWLR
The one thing you have to remember about the LFS is that they are in it for the profit. Maintaining tanks at the lowest acceptable salinity is in there best interest because they use the least amount of salt. When mainting many tanks your salt expenses can be very high epecially when you are giving your water away with the fish that you bag.
To make a long story shorter. For reef tanks your salinity should be between 1.023 and 1.025 for fish only you should keep your salinity between 1.018 and 1.022. I always shoot for the middle of the road to allow for some deviation of the parameters without it causing tank or livestock crashes. So for the FOWLR I would try to keep it at 1.020 to allow for a small amount of swing. |
