    for Fish only 1.023 is a good number, but for any coral i run 1.026-1.027

    I would aim for 1.025 that way your in between 1.024-1.026 .. being to high isnt good and being to low isnt good either. high salinity = more the water can hold. ie calcium,mag,etc.

    FWIW, I wouldn't recommend anything higher than 1.025 unless you have auto top off.
