Reminder: Calibrate your Refractometers!

[Matthew Meyer]

Was using Fritz Aquitics Calibration fluid and it was off by 0.03

Everyone remember to always recalibrate your equipment!

Salinity being off can be one of the biggest reasons we have problems. Even being off just 10% can throw your key parameters way out of whack.

If you have access to a calibrated or semi accurate scale, just make your own solution: https://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-06/rhf/index.php

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Calibrate ALL your measuring devices and monitoring probes.
If you’re relying on them, you need to be sure they are NOT lying to you with false, inaccurate readings or functions.

Best fishes, happy reefing

IT doesn't take much more time to use a calibrated solution every few reads you do. Takes seconds, and saves hours of tinkering later if you salinity is off.
