You should keep it at 1.021. It will help keep down the pests. 1.026 or 35% would not be to smart!
marv lower like you said less $. And yes it will make a BIG difference in fighting pest!<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=11028268#post11028268 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Mavrk
Why would that not be smart? This is the natural environment in which they live.
Many fish stores will keep it lower because salt costs money and the fish will do fine at the lower levels. 1.021 vs 1.026 will not make a huge difference in "pests".
I actually think mg426 has a good idea with splitting the difference. That way you don't have to worry if it changes slightly with evaporation, dilution, etc.
