After my experience I'd just use basic salt until you have a lot of SPS and LPS. I'm by no means and expert with salt water so I'm sure others will...
The other was a friend of mine. I'm assuming his was calibrated correctly. I'm gonna mess with it some more when I get home.
I calibrated mine per the instructions. But it said it has to be 68 degrees in the room you use to calibrate. It wasn't that cool. But the line was...
I'm more confused than ever now. Lol. My hydrometer reads 1.024. My friends refractometer reads 1.028 and the refractometer I got today reads the...
I think for a system with tons of SPS and LPS the Red Sea Coral Pro with the added mag and calcium would be great. But I only have zoas and a few...
I'm hoping my params get back to normal with the instant ocean.
I'm actually going back to instant ocean next water change.
When I done my weekly 4 gallon water change Sunday I mixed my salt lower than I usually do. I run it around 1.026 with a hydrometer. I mixed it at...
Ordered mine Thursday. Should be here Friday. Can't wait.
I just went to eBay.com and typed in Evergrow led and it was the first one to pop up.
Not sure if this will work but here goes. It was 126.85 shipped. Shipped out next day. http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=360805342286

Alkalinity is 16.8. I'm thinking my salt is a lot higher than the 1.026 my hydrometer says.
Using 2.5 ml of each it came out to 350. Multiply that by 2 that gives me 700. A little high. Lol
I guess I'm simple. Lol. So I use 5 ml of tank water and 5 ml of RO water. 10 ml in all right ?
It takes 5ml of tank water to do the test. Are you saying use 2.5 of tank water and 2.5 of RODI water ?
Yeah I think my next purchase will be a refractometer.
Hydrometer
The calcium kit goes up to 500. It's higher than that. RODI water. If your familiar with the Red Sea test kits while checking the calcium yesterday...
I got some LEDs coming next Friday. Got the ever grow D120 full spectrum for $126 shipped.
