Personally, I would err on the side of caution and use the 35 ppt fluid anyway. Refractometers are great for fine-tuning any formula, but should be...
I knew someone would have to go there... :mad::p:rolleyes::D You're welcome. :) IIRC, calibration fluid is actually 35ppt. Calibrating with 0 tds...
