Just make sure your water is at 77 degrees when using this one. If not there is a chart to calculate the real salinity.

Thanks guys. My LFS told me if I ever needed it checked, they would happily do it for me for free.

Of course, there’s no reason to assume their value is accurate. :)

I checked my hygrometer and it is reading about the same, lol. Should have used that too.
The numbers on that don’t seem to match up. As far as I know 35ppt is 1.0264 which is 53mS, perhaps my memory is failing me, lol. I'd resign that to the drawer labelled emergency use only.

I expect it is just a typo, but in case it’s not, a hygrometer is a different device. It measures humidity.

Lol. It is a typo. I am getting a leopard gecko, so I have been looking at hygrometers and my phone autocorrected it. xD

Done, in the drawer with my extra test tubes.
