What's a good SG and temperature?

[njhcnwk]

Since I noticed that these seem to be in ranges on aquarium thermometers and hydrometers, what numbers does everyone run?

 

[mr_X]

78 degrees farenheit and .025-.026

I keep my 90 at 1.025 and 80 degrees F.

don't use a hydrometer. Get a refractometer and set it to 1.025 or 1.026 ( usually do .026).

yes, a hydrometer is a lot more accurate in comparison to a hydrometer.

I'm at 77-80 and 1.026 now. In the summer, I'm usually at 84 and 1.025/26. I let the tank go through our temp cycles too

Mine is always 80 and 1.026.

Refractometer better, hydrometer less better
