If you're using those crappy floating needle style hydrometers your readings probably aren't right anyway. 1.6 is a good value, and if you want accuracy invest in a refractometer, most of them come with a bottle of calibration fluid so you know exactly what the salinity is. J&L sells them for under $60 http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/t-...actometer.html
