First you have to isolate the wires from as many others as possible. Then, I'd recommend putting it into a corner away from your baffle. Mine sits in a lower flow area. Then, get your tank salinity to 1.036 or 35. Afterward, calibrate your probe in the tank in its permanent spot. If this dont work, try a different spot and recalibrate.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think that a 210 display along with 300 gallons of other water is plenty big, and as far as the Apex, I use a lot of BoB switches for turning off pumps and feed modes along with float switches for things like the water barell and R/O bin. Other than that, I only have a few virtual outlets. There are 30 modules tied into the system. Its big

Some of you might know me. My name is Duane Oestreich, and my life is all about fish. It has been for a long time. When I'm not taking care of my fish tank(s), I'm fishing for Salmon. I've been keeping fish tanks since the late 80's and switched from Fresh water to a Reef tank in 2005 when I moved back to Washington from the bay area of California. My hobby has evolved since I set up 120 gallon tank in 2005. I currently have a 210 gallon display, supported with a 150 gallon sump. A separate return pump feeds a 90, 35 and 40 gallon grow tank and a 20 gallon chaeto refugium. There is a 55 gallon chamber in the sump which houses LPS and softies. The rest of the system is primarily SPS, controlled by an extensive Neptune Apex and supplemented with a calcium reactor. I grow coral as a wholesale supplier for several of our local Seattle stores. Here are a few pictures of my tank. The first is from last September before I tore out five large staghorns. The following two are what the display tank currently looks like.
