    salinity - precision and accuracy

    I had always thought that stability is more important than precision.. I see you and @Slingfox mentioning the need to measure salinity accurately.. can you please guide me why is 35 PSU (1.026 sg) so important? Is it coz they are used to this salinity in ocean? Or the trace Elements are...

    @spuri87 @clownvan thank you for vouching for me. Time to setup the 300. It is absolutely amazing how @Johnsonlwu have raised these fish from 1-2" and acclimated them to survive 100% tap water change. Yes TAP water straight from the sink. Mind blowing and beyond impressive. I will try to...
