Doing away with the apex salinity probe for now?

Salinity probes are generally DC, not AC.
As such, coupling/noise from nearby power wires and such should not make any difference.
So I would not normally worry about routing of the wire.
Although it still depends a lot on the quality of the actual circuit used in the sensor. Hence the "should not" versus "does not"
Stray DC voltage in the tank can make a difference however.
Take a high quality volt-meter, and measure between the water and earth ground, and you might see something.
If you do, they sell grounding wires for tanks.

Yes, WHOLESALE ONLY.
(To businesses, or people like Erin / Rich who are/were involved in the business)
Not regular public.
If anyone knows someone who sells to the general public, I would be curious.
Bob has delivered water twice to my house. $1 per gallon with I think it was 100 gallon minimum. I can text you his number.

I believe the minimum and availability will depend on where you live and how accessible it is to him, but I’ve heard of more than a couple people who have had him fill new tanks etc…
I live pretty close to Neptune's. I'm pretty sure that @rygh is close enough to AC that he could also use bob.

I bet most members could get bob to come to them. Just gotta make the right arrangements
