Saltwater Eddies, LLC | Salt http://www.saltwatereddies.com/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:17:17 -0600 en D-D announces the release of a true Seawater calibrated refractometer Whats different between our NEW refractometer and others you might ask? Almost all, if not all, of the refractometers currently available to the aquarium hobby are designed for measuring saltwater (sodium chloride or brine solution) and not true seawater. Although seawater is mostly sodium chloride it also contains other elements such as magnesium and calcium that change the refractive index slightly and will give a slightly different result. The most common symptom of this difference in refractive index can be seen when mixing up salt as per salt manufacturers instructions and achieving a solution strength where it appears, through testing, that the levels of elements are lower than stated by the manufacturer. In actual fact all of the levels are low as the salinity is not as high as the aquarist believes we have all seen low Ca or Mg for a given SG with almost all brands of salt. It turns out that a 35ppt solution of true seawater has the same refractive index as a 36.5ppt solution of brine and so when using a brine/salt refractometer the salinity is likely to be low by 1.5ppt. This can be allowed for by the aquarist but only if they are aware of the difference. After extensive development, D-Ds new refractometer addresses this issue, giving true salinity results when correctly calibrated and greater accuracy than previously attainable.

Model MR100ATC Range 0 - 100% Salinity, 1.000 - 1.070 SG Resolution 1% to 0.001 Accuracy 0.1% to 0.001% ATC yes Professional Hand held refractometers The MR series refractometers are precision optical instruments used for measuring concentrations of substances in aqueous solutions. They work using the principle of light refraction trough liquids. When passing light trough a liquid the refracted angle will be shown on the scale determining the amount of dissolved solids in the liquid. Milwaukee refractometers are very simple to use: simply place one drop of your sample on the prism and read the results on the scales immediately! All these meters have adjustable focus, easy to read numbers for good resolution and zero adjustment screw for calibration. Each refractometer is calibrated and adjusted to measure at 20C (68F). Models with Automatic Temperature Compensation are also available and are suitable for applications where the temperature of the samples vary.

Designed for use in Saltwater, Reef, Marine Fish Aquariums Aquarium Water Change Recommendations We recommend replacing 10-20% of your aquarium water weekly, or biweekly with non-chlorinated, aerated salt water. Prepare new water in a separate container. Never mix salt in an aquarium containing animals. Always use clean non-toxic utensils. Heat the mixed salt water to within 1-2 degrees of aquarium temperature 24 hours before using. If your marine aquarium requires more than 50% water change at any time, be sure to prepare the water 24 hours before using. Mix water to your desired specific gravity to 1.020 - 1.024. To reduce undesirable mineral levels, it is highly recommended to use deionized or reverse osmosis water to prepare your salt water. When using deionized water, test for low pH and adjust it with buffer if needed.
