Hello everyone,
I am about to go crazy regarding the Red Sea Refractometer. I have went by the directions step by step and reread everything and watched countless videos to make sure I am correct. It is telling me to calibrate it with room temperature RODI Water (70 Degrees F currently) and wait 15 seconds for the ATC to kick in. I have done this over and over and recalibrated it over and over. Each time with a different result. Im taking out the Tank water and replacing it with purely RODI water to try to lower the Salinity Levels to no avail. Should I just toss this thing in the trash and get something else? How long must I wait in between adding water to check the Salinity? Also do I have to Recalibrate it every single time even if it changes almost every single time? I'm relatively new to this and this is driving me crazy.
