I always thought 1.026 = 35. No matter how much I calibrate/retest, etc. I can not get 1.026 = 35 ppt on my refractometer. I always end up with 1.026 = .34.
Forgive the blurry picture. I think that is a function of focusing it for eyesight and then trying to take a photo with my camera. It reads 1.026 with a sharp line and and about 34.5 PPT. When I get my water to 1.026 the refractometer always reads just below 35 ppt or even 34 ppt.
Is it a function of my tank water being different than the refractometer stated temp? If so, should I try for SG or PPT measurement?
