I have not tested it yet. I have a test kit at the house where my fish are right now.

53 ms calibration solution, same as the 53,000 uMS from Neptune people. I'm not sure I understand why wouldn't want to use the same for both, if the solution matches the Neptune and gives me the expected reading. I didn't calibrate the refractometer, only validated it gave me the expected...

Any more details on this? Not sure who/what VCA is.

The refractometer arrived today as well as the calibration solution, verified the refractometer read the same as the calibration solution. Calibrated the apex probe, then tested it in the same solution a few minutes later for the desired reading. Cool, threw it in the tank which I know was...

Where in OC are you located?

@joseserrano Ya, that's a good point. I guess seeing my sump after 7 years I need a better way to clean it on the old one. Didn't think about the cycle. After looking at the spears valve, that might be the trick, thanks for the recommendation.

I've never heard of this stuff before, but I was watching video and they said use this material and you can take your pipes apart, but still leak-proof. Anyone heard of this stuff or used it with success or failure? I'm getting a new tank, just had someone take the old tank and I realize how...

Yes, steel stand with magnetic cover.

I'll start a build thread later in the week. It is going to be a CDA 60x36x24 with a custom 100g sump
