I received my Hanna testing equipment today, a major upgrade from a handheld hydrometer and my API test kit! The first parameter I checked was salinity. Hanna provided a reading of 1.0265 SG at 80.0 F, while my manual measurement technique showed salinity of 1.024 SG at 80.6 F (temperature based on Current temperature probe). This seems like a huge difference. My gut feeling says to trust in Hanna; however, I’ve been using the handheld hydrometer for over a year now. What do y’all think?
I have two other temperature readings in my tank showing 78.8 F based on my newly installed Seneye and 81 F based on my heater’s temperature sensor. Also, I did perform a calibration prior to using the Hanna salinity tester.
