Re: Specific Gravity
dont worry about why, try to keep it at 1.025-26 its then very close to NSW and allows a little bit of movement for evaporation, always try to keep close to those margins and dont let it rise or drop a point either way and certainely too quickly

Re: Re: Specific Gravity
I dont think it good to tell someone trying to learn dont worry why, just do it. People ask questions so they can make educated desicions.
However you then go on to answer the question.
My understanding from what I have read is it is closer to Natural Sea Water(NSW)

I think "don't worry, just do it" is a pretty good answer in this case. 1.026 is roughly the worldwide average. There's no sound explanation for why keeping salinity low would be desirable and we can do nothing more than guess at IO's logic for recommending that.
