The
measure of salinity (saltiness) levels in water is Specific Gravity
(S.G.). The SeaDrometer is a scientific instrument used to measure
the correct salinity level for the type of marine creatures in your
set-up. The fishes' indigenous region dictates the level of salinity
they will tolerate. e.g.
|
REGION
S.G.
|
|
Range
Tolerated
|
|
Indo
Pacific
|
=
|
1.018
to 1.022
|
|
Caribbean
|
=
|
1.020
to 1.025
|
|
Red
Sea
|
=
|
1.028
to 1.034
|
If
the S.G. reading is too low, add Waterlife Ultramarine sea-salt
to increase the S.G.
If the S.G. is too high for the species being kept, add fresh-water.
N.B. Always effect changes to S.G. of your system gradually so as
not to cause shock to your fishes.
Info:
Easy to use method of measuring the S.G. of your marine system
The SeaDrometer has a good range (1.010 to 1.030)
It is an accurate measure of salinity (accuracy 0.002)
