So I just picked up more salt and RO/DI water at my LFS. I checked the salinity with my refractometer and it said it was 1.030, they told me it was 1.025. They used a very expensive salinity checker so I’m assuming there’s is more accurate then mine, so the problem is the salinity of my tank, with my refactometer it says it’s 1.026. I don’t have corrals, nor fish. I only have two toures snails and a hermit crab.
Should I set my refractometer to the LFS water? I calibrated my refractometer with a solution I bought off Amazon and it said to calibrate it to 35ppt. Did I calibrate my refractometer wrong? This is probably the most confusing thing I’ve done so far with my tank.
Thanks in advanced <3
