Two Little Fishies AccuraSea Seawater Reference & Calibration Solution (250 mL)
Your tanks salinity measurements are essential for maintaining a healthy marine aquarium, and the Two Little Fishies AccuraSea Reference Solution was created to help make that process simple and reliable. It is formulated from purified natural seawater, this calibration solution has a dependable standard for checking and calibrating refractometers and hydrometers.
Many aquarium problems can be traced back to inaccurate salinity readings, which is why regularly calibrating your testing equipment is so important. AccuraSea helps eliminate the guesswork, allowing you to maintain stable conditions for fish, corals, and other invertebrates.
What is it?
AccuraSea is a 35 ppt seawater reference solution designed to ensure your salinity measuring equipment is providing accurate readings. It can be used with most refractometers, conductivity meters, and hydrometers commonly found in the aquarium hobby.
How to use it
-
Allow the solution to reach room temperature.
-
Place a few drops onto the prism of your refractometer.
-
Wait a few moments for the solution to stabilize.
-
Adjust the calibration screw until the instrument reads 35 ppt or 1.026 specific gravity.
-
Clean the instrument thoroughly before use.
Why should you use it?
-
Provides accurate salinity measurements.
-
Helps maintain stable aquarium conditions.
-
Reduces stress on fish and corals caused by salinity fluctuations.
-
Offers a quick and simple way to verify the accuracy of your equipment.
-
Suitable for both beginner and experienced reef keepers.
Why we love it
This is one of those simple products that can make a huge difference in the long-term success of a reef aquarium. A properly calibrated refractometer gives you confidence that your aquarium's salinity is exactly where it should be, helping you create a healthier and more stable environment for your livestock.

LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
