2020年4月14日 · I just bought a Hanna salinity checker and checked both the water I was mixing and the tank water. For a while I’ve been using a secondhand refractometer, which I’ve never calibrated myself (rookie mistake, I know). I’ve always tested it …

2025年1月4日 · Hello fellow hobbyists, I recently acquired a Red Sea XL200 and have a quick question on Salinity. I've tried some calculators and searching threads, but I can't seem to form a conclusive decision on how to proceed. My current tank is at 1.025 / 33 PPT. I want to get it to 1.025 / 35 PPT...

2015年7月1日 · If the organisms in the aquarium are from brackish environments with lower salinity, or from the Red Sea with higher salinity, selecting something other than 35 ppt may make good sense. Otherwise, I suggest targeting a target salinity of 35 ppt (specific gravity = 1.0264; conductivity = 53 mS/cm).

2024年11月26日 · I seem to be spending a ton of my time lately trying to get salinity right, and can't seem to align between all my testers. I have the following to check with: 1. Vertex Refractometer 2. eBay Refractometer 3. Milwaukee MA887 4. Instant Ocean Hydrometer and I am using AccuraSea salinity reference solution on 1 - 3. 1.

2022年5月14日 · Real time salinity monitors are conductivity meters. Same thing as a TDS meter, but designed for the right range for full strength seawater. Whether any particular hobby brand implements it optimally or not, conductivity meters are the go to way for chemical oceanographers to measure salinity. It can be fast, highly accurate and highly precise.

2) Prepare 10-20% water change water and mix it to the new desired new salinity. Remove X gallons of water from the tank and replace with the new water. Keep doing that until youve reached your desired salinity level. The continue water changes with pre mixed saltwater at desired salinity level. Be sure to let it mix for 24 hours or more.

2010年8月10日 · "The current definition for Practical Salinity states: a seawater of Practical Salinity 35 has a conductivity ratio of unity at 15 degrees Centigrade (and 1 atmosphere pressure) with a potassium chloride (KCl) solution containing a …

2015年12月10日 · Refractive Index and Salinity Aquarists can use the effects that added salts have on the refractive index of a water solution to determine the salinity of reef aquarium water. As the salinity of seawater rises, the amount of salt added rises, so the refractive index rises. Figure 1 plots seawater’s refractive index vs. its salinity.

2021年2月6日 · If going to try and bring up your salinity it's best to do through water changes slowly. Mixing salt takes 12 hours or so to mix completely. Keep doing your regular water changes at a slightly higher salinity. Slowly bringing it up to where you want it. The current salinity won't damage as much as a large swing in parameters.

2019年8月4日 · your salinity does not have to change when doing water changes. The scale of the water change does not matter for salinity, it is your testing method. When doing water changes it is important to insure that the salt is fully dissolved in the water( no residue on the bottom of the mixing bucket) and that you check the tank salinity and match the ...
