I was testing my water for the usual stuff and saw the nice little bottle I picked up at the frag swap.
I just tested my refractometer with the BAR 35 ppt Salinity Standard.
It seems as though it was off (the refractometer) giving me a low reading. s)
I have been running my tank at about 37.8 ppt. or 1.028 specific gravity.
How reliable is the standard?
My tank seems to be fine. All corals,kritters and fish are fine for well over a year now.
Should I drop the salinity?
