My new refractometer from BRS came in, so I calibrated it and checked my S.G. OMG!!! I thought I had things under control because I have a friend with a refractometer which I checked against my hydrometer. It showed that my Hmeter was off a bit so I was able to compensate for it based on his "accurate" Rmeter reading. When I checked today my actual S.G is 1.030. So, how bad is that and how fast can I get it down to 1.026 where I want it? I know it isn't terrible as my animals seem pretty good with it, what few corals I have are doing well and even growing a bit. It was just a bit of a shock as I thought it would be dead on.
Could it be contributing to my diatom problem? I added the first Tampa Bay live rock in mid Nov to fully bio-cycled Reef Saver rock so it's about two-two and a half mo. along, and still having diatom issues.
Thanks,
