also 1.025-1.026. My logic is Bornman says it should be 1.027--end of story. but I lose so much water to evap, I stay a little below that, so with 1-2 days of evap I get up there before refilling water. But I'm a newbie, so what do I know?

so it seems that most people are running 1.025 to make this thread a little more interesting, I run my system at 1.026 because I read that it helps your skimmer run more effectively is this true or is it false
