Why Specific Gravity Matters: Using a Float Tank Hydrometer for a Healthy Tank Environment
Maintaining the right conditions in your tank is essential—and that starts with understanding your water’s specific gravity. A float tank hydrometer makes this easy. This simple tool floats in your tank water. Its position reveals the water’s buoyancy, helping you monitor vital changes in your system.
For accurate readings, make sure the hydrometer you choose is calibrated for a specific gravity range of 1.2 to 1.3 or higher. Experts recommend keeping your tank’s specific gravity between 1.265 and 1.285 to support a healthy and stable aquatic environment.
Routine checks with a dependable hydrometer not only help you track buoyancy but also contribute to the overall well-being of the life in your tank. Think of it as a small investment for peace of mind—and healthier water.
