just push it up to 1.022 and leave it. I just upload pics to photo bucket then link from there, which is nice because you don't have to resize the pics.
I'm pretty sure I have a blue thumb.

Is that 1.002?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

1.020 is fine for SW without corals. How long did you take to acclimate them from FW-SW? How have you kept that tank cycled? How big is the tank?
