    Yeah... those hydrometers are tricky.. Hard to get all the bubbles off the needle.. don't forget you have to take into account the temperature when reading those things.

    i just did the salanity testings a few minutes, according to puffer's tank it's 82-78, so i would imagine my 46 would be the same, i don't have a heater plugged into the puffers, but the 46, the heater is set at 76

    Well.. I mean there's a chart that usually comes with a hydrometer.. .what reads 1.027 could be way off depending on the temperature.

    i think i wll have to make an emergency buy and buy one soon, i thnk i'll pay off my c.c. some today and buy one, even if that's the only thing i buy, because before i get my C.U.C. which will be going in first and fish, i want to make it stable, and the water i get from the lfs salanity is 1.023 so i need to really get it back down before i put anything in it
