Salinity Level

What's the recommended salinity level for fish and soft corals? I've been reading 1.025 to 1.028

Mine is at 1.024 right now. Should I slowly bring it up to 1.026 or I can just raise it up to that tonight when I get home?

In my opinion you are fine where you are, but you can raise it if you like.

Nothing really, as long as your are within 1.023 to say 1.026 you should be fine. Its sudden changes that mess with Livestock.
