New 200 Gallon Crystal Dynamics Build

I went to calibrate this and it said you have to use a chemical I have never heard of... it also said it is best to not calibrate it. The funny thing is it is reading 21.6... 21.6 what??? PPT? Not sure... I just know that number is way wrong if it is PPT.... with my hydrometer, I am getting 35PPT....

Does anyone have any experience with calibrating the salinity probe?

On a lighter side, I am waiting for 2 parts to be able to install my Carbon / GFO reactor.... I need one 1/2 NPT thread to 3/8" john Guest fitting to come out of the reactor... I changed everything to 3/8" on this one because I wanted to use the red 3/8" pipe.... Will post pics once that is installed...

Then, the last real item I need is to install my calcium reactor....

Getting close....

You talking salinity probe? probably PPT.

Here is something I found on calibrating them. I have a Apex but do not use it for much of anything anymore.

I would think they have a reference solution like everyone else for calibration.

BRS sells the calibration fluid for ph and salinity probes. Or if you trust your hydrometer you can use that value and use your tank water as the "calibration fluid".
