Would that affect the reading?

I just got my all for reef powder, and its clamped, does the pebbles affect the reading on the scale? It says 6 leveled scoops but idk if they affect anything.

I weigh by grams.... I always thought the 6 levels scoops was a little too willy nilly for me.

If by pebbles you mean clumps of solid, they may be more dense than the loose powder.

I don't use all for reef, but I also measure everything by grams instead of "scoops"

My question was does the clumps of solid affect the scale reading when measurinf

Nope, won't affect the weight in grams at all

The exact mass or volume is not very important, IMO. You'll just dose a bit more if it is less potent.
