I am very happy with the salinity tester. I use the PPT instead of salinity and that is my only beef. If the salinity were to read one more decimal out I would use the salinity. I do cover the reservoir every time I take a reading with small ramekin I also calibrate the tester each time.

As @Simon Cushing cushing would say, "when I go out for take away" I save the napkins and use the napkins instead of paper tower to clean the reservoir. The napkins do a much better job;) That is the first time of have read about issue with the Milwaukee.

I am finding out that with any test to have consistency is to use clean/new tips, syringes, clean surfaces and the tests come out more consistent.

Thank you, the uppers and the desk is made with Makore & fiddle back maple.

Here's my office

office1.jpg

Nice set up. It is so hard just to work on one monitor anymore. I will be adding a forth. I am designing a curved rail to month all 4 and be movable.

I really like my tank in the office!! Is that your 90 or 135?

90 is gone, only room for 1 tank so Waterbox is my only tank right now. I may set up a qt or fuge in the basement but not right now :)
