ya in your tank 180 gal 1-2 cups isnt going to matter, i would do it all the time then you are going to be low and have to drip concentrated salt water to bring it up.

Those extra two cups definitely did something...
When we mix up our water we do so using 30g of RO/DI and 25 cups of salt. This time though 23 cups of salt yielded 1.042 SG. We're both confused how this happened, but I'm thankful that I re-test everything before we use the water. New MHs are ordered and we're just waiting on delivery. I'm sticking with my favorites, 250w XM 15K moguls.

that dont make sense when I make salt water and i do a 5 gal change i will check my salt in the main display. If the Salt content is high i will take out of cup only making it 1.5 cups of salt. when its lower i will add a extra cup to the 5 gal change.

The display is fine, its the make-up water that has the problem. Calibration shows the refractometer is fine. We're just chalking it up to a one-off experience. We just ended up cutting in RO/DI to bring the salinity down.

 New bulbs arrived yesterday, and wow what an improvement! Next up will be new T5s. September 9th, before the new MH bulbs  Today, September 11th, with the new MH bulbs  I had the city in this morning to move our water meter, so that is one more thing I can knock off my to-do list for the basement. We're still waiting on moving the electrical panel, but its slowly coming along.
