    My Basic Rule Of Thumb (Works For Me)

    Calibrate your german made refractometer when purchased then once a year and keep your salinity at 1.025.

    No problem :). I hope I didn't come across as cross or difficult either. Re-reading my post, I could see someone taking it that way. I don't think you did, but just in case someone else reads it that way.

    No not at all Reeron.In fact I thought my initial response(the one Mr. B quoted might sound kind of harsh so I edited) I am genuinely interested in the science behind this theory. Your responses have brought up some interesting points.We all know that most of the information that has been passed around on this hobby are rarely supported by scientific study and as such need to be scrutinized. Most of the things we have all learned(especially us older guys who never had the benefit of years of fishkeeping or the internet) have been through trial and error unfortunately. Some of these theories may even be unprovable. I guess for me there are so many unknowns I find it best to keep it as simple as possible.IME keeping fish Ich/disease free is easily accomplished (Again see my rules) and changing the salinity is unecessary. ;)
