So I’ve been keeping reef tanks for about 25 years with rather good results. But now I had to go all out with fancy equipment just to make myself crazy.
I started a new IM fusion 40 crammed more gear than possible in to it and I’m letting it sit for a 3 months before I put anything in it. It will be all sps.
here’s my problem
apex salinity probe reads 37
hanna reads 32
reflectometer reads 1.27
I’m guessing the Hanna is off but I did calibrate it with the 35ppt solution. And when it reads the solution it does read it as 35.
the apex probe reads the same solution as 32
and the reflectometer reads the solution at 1.22
the Apex and the reflectometer seem to be getting the same reading but how can they see the test solution as less than 35 ppt?
all this makes me miss my old plastic hydrometer
