To all I just recently purchased a new ice cap salinity tester bc at my lfs owner who I trust a lot checked all my perameter and I found my salinity was 1.028 and my refractometer was reading 1.026 only did so bc my corals were not all happy n everything in my test kit was checking ok. So I went home and recalibrated the refractometer found it to be off. So I retested n found 1.028 now. So i slowly dropped it till i read 1.026 over a couple of days.not liking the situation So I figured it was time for something new. Ordered n Received the ice cap digital salinity tester to day n found my tank is at 1.024 little low but ok .but my refractometer was reading 1.030 I'm concerned about it don't know what is right so recalibrated the ice cap and read 1.024 again. I have heard a lot of good things about them but just wondering how many people use them and if there as accurate. N how long have you been trusting it... thanks for reading hope for responses.
