Hypo Question?

[reefboys]

I just got my refractometer in the mail and i'm going to start my hypo very soon. My refractometer has a range of 1.000 to 1.007. I've read in Beth's post about hypo that you need to lower the tank to 1.008 so my question is is it still safe for the fish if i lower the tank to 1.007 or a little lower in order for my refractometer to be able to read it??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ya'll

Most refractometers have a minimum range of 1.000 (pure water..no solids/minerals) to at least 1.040. Are you sure you are reading it correctly?

This is correct. What kind did you buy?

Oops never mind, I was reading it wrong lol. It has a scale of 1.000-1.070. Its an RHS-10 ATC. Thanks for the fast responses you two.
