    Dip? Are you using a refractometer? Is it calibrated?

    Yeah that's the issue. Refractometer a should be calibrated before each use. Try calibrating it to zero with some rodi water.

    I'm not to sure about that one though. You can keep the trates down w/o a skimmer.

    Ok, i calibrated. Thing is, it was off by 2. So does that mean if my reading was 22 that its actually 20?!?
