    Reefkeeper 2 or Reefkeeper Lite??

    Why Measure Salinity this way? I ask Kirk cause if your auto top off is good and you have a refractometer to make sure the new water you make and your tank are the same your salinity will not change. Salt does not evaporate only the water does !!! If you really must have one your best bet...

    Very high PH

    I would guess it is a bad test or test kit. If it stayed that way for a length of time things would not look good some would die. Step 1 retest it. Step 2 go to someone or some store that has a test kit and have them test it as well. :-) Paul
