My salinity might be at 46ppt!
I used the refeactometer I just got to check against my Hanna which reads my tank at 34.5ppt. The refractometer read 42ppt out of the box.
I used 2 calibration pouches from Hanna that are supposed to be perfectly 35ppt.
Originally I tested the second calibration pouch with the refractometer and it read 30ppt.
I calibrated twice - both the Hanna checker and the refractometer.
Now my tank water reads 46ppt with the refractometer and 34.8ppt with the Hanna.
I don’t want to make drastic changes to my water in the meantime - what do you all recommend until I can get to check against someone else’s tank water and their testers?
