We are pleased to officially announce the newest product from Vivid Creative Aquatics - the Salinity Probe Stability Kit, or SPS Kit for short.
Roughly half of those currently running a Conductivity probe to monitor salinity are having issues with sporadic readings and unreliable results. The biggest challenge has always been protecting the probe from micro bubble and debris.
The SPS Kit solve this issue.
The SPS Kit is carefully designed to create just the right amount of water movement and positive pressure around the tip of the probe to provide a consistent and reliable reading. It will also actively shield the probe from micro bubbles and debris. With the SPS Kit, the conductivity probe on your Apex can easily produce a useful reading and a trendline you can both rely on and trust.
Easy to Install
Simply attach the SPS Kit over the end of the probe, connect the 1/4in supply line to a small pump such as the Neptune PMUP, or SICCE Micra (90 GPH), or even an open port on your manifold.

How the SPS Kit works
The SPS Kit needs a consistent and steady supply flow to produce the most reliable readings. For best results, a steady flow rate of between 20 and 60 GPH (75 to 225 LPH) is required.
To achieve the proper flow rate, we recommend a feed pump rated for 60 to 90 GPH (227 to 340 LPH). Two such pumps are the Neptune PMUP and the SICCE® Micra.
The SPS Kit includes a 2-in-1 adapter that fits both the Neptune PMUP and the SICCIE® Micra (90GPH version).
When will the SPS kit be Available?
We expect wide availability by early next week at all the major online retailers, and a number of local fish store around the country already have it. The SPS Kit will also be available in the UK, Germany an d throughout Europe by the end of July. You can pre-order right now at SaltwaterAquarium.com
We are happy to answer any and all questions you may have, so please post them here. We'll lasso post some graphs in the comments to show the kinds of reading you can expect with the SPS Kit installed.
