Thanks Boomer. My water temp is 75 F and I am using a std. floating
hydrometer. I'm doing a water change now; so I'll bring it down a little

What are you using to measure the SG ? What is the water temp ? In short
you are a little
high, if you are using a std LFS type of floating hydrometer or a swing
arm, at normal
aquarium temps, you want to be somewhere around 1.024 -1.027. If it is a
refractometer you
are OK, which corrected is 1.0265, which is the same as natural seawater
