ReefKeeper Lite and Salinity Monitoring

mattiej · 09/15/2011, 08:03 AM

I have posted this question in the DA forum but will post here. Is the RKL capable of monitoring salinity via the SL2 module? Currently I am using two PC4 and a SL1 on the head unit.

Yes the RKL is capable of monitoring salinity through the SL2 as long as you purchase a salinity probe

Keep in mind though that the salinity probe was released over a year ago and had problems and although they've supposedly resolved the issue I've still yet to see the salinity probes in stock anywhere.

I have heard the same thing about trying to find the probes. I thought they were available at Aquatic Specialty but was told they are back ordered. May just have to wait on this one.

Yes the first probes had problems, you have to look for the new models with the titanium blades (tip of the probe)
