Salinity, Refractor, and Calbration

[Ryan - Serious Reefs]

I would not trust any off the shelf calibration solution. Better to make your own.

Agreed.

I tried a few different methods of a DIY solution and I liked using the Tropic Marin precision hydrometer the best.

I see it has a chart with this unit. I assume I could use it?

Yes

@Randy Holmes-Farley sorry for all the questions. The pinpoint conversion chart skips the information I need. I attempted to do the math. Would 1.012 Sg show up as 26.115 mS/cm on the Pinpoint? If not what should it read?

Yes, but recognize that you do not need to be nearly that precise.

@Randy Holmes-Farley I am trying to eradicate Neobenedenia flukes. Currently on second dose of praziquantel. I have been concerned with the posts that say only hypo at 1.012 will get rid of them. The fish are in quarantine now. I just really want to get it right and not injure or kill this beautiful fish. I really appreciate all you have done. I read a lot of your posts
