I was hoping you had somewhere that you could direct me so I could read up on it myself. Peace

Have you ever used your refractometer with your skimmer cup liquid ?
I did it when the OP started this post and was not surprised to see 1.015

Umm......no. I've never seen any reason to check the salinty on fish waste. But rather than get in an debate over this i'll just step away and hopefully some other members will chime in and change my thoughts on skimmers causing the salinity to drop. I only have my own experience to go by and nothing to back it up. So in closing you win bro. Sorry to the OP for the minor hijack.

I can't find any articles to back up my thoughts on skimmers and Sg
I'm still working on finding something to back up my thoughts on low Sg for critters
