salinity

[Ah Teck]

Hi all,

can someone share with me the effect of different salinity value.

1.020, 021 22 23 24 or 25 ?

I noticed queen angel, king anel , french seems to be more active with higher salnity valus and coral seems to do well in low salinity value .

I always thought it was the other way round. Higher salinity will offer higher calcium concentration for corals, making it easier to calcify.

Any value between SG 1.021 - 1.027 will be fine.

Being an enclosed space, the red sea has higher salinity. So fishes from the red sea (purple tang, majestic tang) tend to prefer higher salinity. But they can be acclimated to accept lower salinity.
