Nice pic. of Opae and red algae.

I really like the red algae and hope it gets bigger. So far it's a slow grower.

Talking about the red algae and taking a line from Robocop ' I'd buy that for a dollar ' best of luck growing tankful.

I have my 5G up and running. What salinty do you have yours at. I got instant ocean.

**Rob in Puyallup** · 02-05-2013, 12:33 AM

I keep my tanks at about 1.012, but with evaporation it can go as high as 1.014, but rarely.

Think I should say that measuring specific gravity with a cheap hydrometer (like I do) can't be altogether accurate. But I shoot for 1.012 using room temperature distilled water when I do water changes.

NVM i see you used distilled tap. Would treated tap water be okay?
