What’s your salinity?
I’ve been trusting the Apex’s salinity probe and thought it l’s been 35ppt (1.026SG). Well, per the last ICP test, it was really 33ppt(1.024SG) for months! That means all the other elements were also low.
I’ve recalibrated and add to my monthly checklist! Also, have a secondary source (e.g Milwaukee digital refractometer) to validate. @dooly suggested getting a TM hydrometer as a more reliable source.
What level of salinity do you run and how you test & calibrate salinity?

Thought we were running 1.026, turns out it is 1.024 also lol. We have a Vee Gee refractometer, and the TM hydrometer as well. We have a Hanna salinity checker in the cabinet, but have never opened it to use since we have the Vee Gee. Just keeping as a backup, because you never know.
