So, I started with my tank at 1.025, and after reading several threads, saw at least most people posting were running 1.026.

I'm wondering if there is any 'real' noticeable difference between the two levels, and if there's any benefits (besides cost of salt) to moving between 1.024-1.026? I'm wondering if this can affect Zoa's opening, for one - and coral growth, for another

My Acan's are popping off some babies, and that's good. I've seen growth on my Montipora Sunset; but my Joker Zoa's seem to remain closed a lot of the time no matter where I move them - some of them got bleached I think and when moved into lower light they all closed up. My Candy Apple Reds are doing fine, though.

Also my Jack O Lantern Leptoseris, which I was told is a fast grower, hasn't shown any real noticeable growth yet, though I've only had it in there for a little over a month now.

It's just late at night, and I'm pondering my tank.
