twentyleagues typical sw range is 1.021 to 1.025. I would consider light brackish to be around 1.007, what i use for most of my light brackish tanks. 1.016 would be on the heavier side, but it's not full SW.

Typical is correct. But salt water has been recorded as low as 1.016 in the oceans I dont remember exactly I believe arctic. The article I was reading at the time durimg my salt days was based on using ultra low salt levels to kill parasites. It stated 1.016 to 1.028.

I think they get about 12". I'd say its 9-10" now.

great pickup. I was playing with the idea of ordering one but don't want to deal with brackish. When you say you have salt added I am assuming you are using marine salt?

Gotta email him.

I know, I actually texted him about this a few months ago. was hoping it would peak others interest and maybe show that there is a demand.
