Well it was a happy day in Rastaland
... got my refractometer today ! ... I had tagged along on a group buy with the New Jersey Reef Club awhile back and got a great price on it ( $37US + shipping ) but when it got delivered it was broken
... so I got ahold of the guy that the group buy went thru and he agreed to exchange it ... he even tested the new one for me prior to shipping ... ( he offered to pay shipping both ways but I paid to send it to him and he express shipped back to me ... stand up dude
) ... so I calibrated it and tested my specific gravity and it was WAAAAY out 1.028
... my little swing arm tester showed 1.0255 and my target range was always 1.026. I ordered this unit because I had broken my hydrometer and really had not used the swing arm tester in a long time ... sure hope I did not stress out my tank with such a high salinity
Cheers
