Re: salinity for gsp
How much did you add? Are you pre-dissolving it 1st?

Re: salinity for gsp
You should have had a salinity reading right away.
Puffpuff3 what are you measuring the salinity with? Make sure it is calibrated if it is a refractometer. If you are using a hydrometer the first reading needs to start at 1.000 on it. Ck here: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... catid=4952

Re: salinity for gsp
I pre-dissolved it first, and am using a hydromoter. But I finally got a good reading. Turns out I was using it wrong. 
Thanks for the article, Stormyskiez!

Any time Puffpuff3. You almost have to be a chemist to be in the fish hobby!
