The aquarium<br /> life has a dependence on a certain concentration of salt,<br /> so if the concentration is not close enough to what the <br /> species need, it could result in death of the species.<br /> <br /> Test Procedure:<br /> 1) Open the plate near the angled end of the refractometer<br /> 2) Place a couple drops of aquarium water onto surface<br /> 3) Close the plate carefully<br /> 4) Read the measurement by looking through the end of the device<br /> <br /> Recommended Salinity:<br /> For the Purple Sea Urchin, the salinity should try to be kept around <br /> 1.0264 sg. The unit of measurement is specific gravity. <br /> <br /> Data:<br /> 03/12/2019<br /> 1.028sg<br /> *insert image of test*<br /> <br /> 03/21/2019<br /> 1.028sg<br /> <br /> 03/22/2019<br /> 1.028sg<br /> <br /> 03/26/2018<br /> 1.028sg<br /> <br /> 03/28/2019<br /> 1.028sg<br /> <br /> 04/04/2019<br /> 1.028sg<br /> <br /> 04/09/2019<br /> 1.026sg<br /> <br /> 04/17/2019<br /> 1.026sg<br /> <br /> 04/23/2019<br /> 1.026sg<br /> <br /> 04/30/2019<br /> 1.022sg</div>
