Hello, I wonder if anyone else is facing challenges keeping micro air bubbles out of their salinity/conductivity probe.
The probe holder on the Trigger Systems Platinum Sump is in the same section as the skimmer. My skimmer (Reef Octopus Elite 200 Super Space Saver) keeps releasing micro bubbles in spite of adjusting the height and adding multiple sponges in an attempt to catch them before the salinity probe.
Because of the bubbles, the salinity measurement keeps drifting all the time. It drifts around 2ppt per week, sometimes it’s worse. It’s so bad that I no longer bother looking at it on the dashboard. Let alone setting alarms.
I’ve thought about moving the probes to downstream sections but the next one is the algae reactor and I don’t want it to start filling with algae. The next section is the return pump which changes water level every time I feed. I understand that the probes are not expected to be fully submerged so I guess that section is also out.
Any thoughts?
If any Trigger Systems Platinum + Apex user sees this, I’d love to check out your setup. Thanks!
