spectra Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well I do not dose but being a nano tank I check salinity weekly. With the evap on a nano it can change a lot. Also calibrate your refractometer. Years ago I thought all was good and well the dang meter was off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Thats a good reminder, I think people forget that 2 part does raise salinity slowly but surely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kireek Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 One thing I have learned is to never overlook salinity.Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Since I don't ever do water changes i got really lazy about checking my salinity...but up she crept! Yes, 2-part is essentially adding salt:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaReefer458 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I was having nothing but problems with new sps I was adding in my 40 and after taking a water sample into my LFS and having them double check it my salinity was 1.029. my refractometer was not calibrated so after correcting it everything has been 100% happier... cant overlook the simple things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
