salinity question

[sanababit]

i am ciclyiung my tank with a salinity of 1.023, ive read post here that say to raise the salinity to 1.026, why is that??? if my water density tester says to target a salinity of 1.022 wich is best????

1.026 is natural seawater. There is no data to show we should keep it otherwise. Check out this article.
