Hi to all! I just recently purchased my new Apex and so far I absolutely love it! But, the only problem I am having is that I can’t get my salinity probe to calibrate. When I’m calibrating on step 4 it just times out and can’t seem to get the correct salinity range it needs. Is there any...

Up for sale is a used Neptune PM2 with Neptune lab grade salinity probe and 3' AquaBus cable. Works perfectly, I just decided I don't need to monitor salinity as closely and I need the funds for another Apex for a new build. Items were purchased new in March. Price is $150 shipped via USPS...

I did a search on this topic and did not find this question of R2R I started a auto water change on 4/15 and also recalibrated my conductivity probe about the same time. The reason for the recalibration was that for the past two years the probe was reading correctly and the last two month it...

hey all! Just wanted to post a helpful reminder to check your salinity and calibrate your refractometer! I had during lps corals and bleached sps for the the last week. I tested all parameters Calcium:400 Alk: 9.2 Mag: 1245 Nitrate:5 Phosphate: .12 I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why...

Hey reefers, my 10 gallon tanks salinity is at 1.021, I'd like it around 1.025 or 1.026. How can I raise it safely? Right now it looks like it needs to be topped off with.. maybe half a gallon or 1 gallon at the most

hey so my salinity probe was working great reading 34-35 but my apex 2016 lost connection to my WiFi and now the probe is just reading 1.2 incorrectly since this afternoon. Anyway to troubleshoot this ? 3 other probes are doing just fine.

Now who do I adjust & which direction? Plan was to float new bags, match salinity & throw into QT, no drip acclimation. QT has been running about a week - no meds yet as I wanted to start everyone at the same time once they were all eating well. Fish in there from LiveAquaria who showed up...

Has anyone experienced something like this? It seems the probe is slowly dropping to a point them spiking back to normal. Nothing odd going on with the tank, ATO is working as expected. These spikes don't correlate with any of the other equipment operating. #apexusers

Are you properly calibrating your refractometer? Lot of people just use RO/DI water which will read 0..however your not going to get the the most accurate results. the next batch of people will use proper 35ppt/1.026 calibration solution which gets you closer.. but ar you taking into account...

I have been getting asked a lot of question form new reefers on what all is involved in maintaining a saltwater reef tank. Yesterday i decided to film my "weekly" routine of maintenance to give a good overview of what all is involved in maintaining a reef tank. Below are my general weekly...

Hello all This was posted an another forum recently and I think it's a really interesting article and potentially raises several points worth considering to the very basic husbandry of our reef tanks. http://www.ronshimek.com/salinity_temperature.html Have we been getting the most basic...

I got my refractometer from BRS the other day and noticed that it's blue line doesn't seem straight across. For example, I have it perfectly set at 35 ppm on the right side, but my salinity on the left reads like 1.027 or 26. It seems to me like the reading (if set at 35 ppm) should be straight...

Hello , I've had my aquamaxx skimmer off for a couple weeks now , and I've finally added livestock back to my DT after a 88 day fallow period . When adding my hob skimmer back on the tank , it states to add tank water into the skimmer and begin running . When I first added the skimmer 6 months...

Hi, I had a floating saltwater gadge witch is inaccurate and has claimed the lives of two clownfish and a shrimp because it gave an inaccurate reading and caused a salinity spike during a water change. I am looking to buy a more accurate, quality refractometer but need help picking one. I am...

So my current LFS is being a bit unreliable with my salinity and i've been interested in mixing my own salt for a while now. i currently have a 20g nano reef with a 10g sump, but i'm going to be upgrading soon to a 120ish gallon reef. I'd like to know what a good RODI unit is that won't break...

I just noticed My salinity is around 1.018 and i don't own a RODI unit yet so I have no way of raising it since it's Christmas Eve and I have no idea if any stores will be open tomorrow, I have about 3 gallons of RO water in a jug so I might be able to mix salt water should I get my hands on...

Hi all, I was wondering what you thought about the inexpensive (usually "ATO" branded) salinity refractometers as far as accuracy, do they last very long, etc. I have a feeling at $19 shipped with a case, they're pretty popular! Thanks!
