Depending on the refractometer you have. My first one a Vertex I needed to calibrate almost every time I used it. My new one a Tropic Eden pro-1 normal seawater refractometer I have only had to tweak it a bit over the past 6 months. I still check it a couple times a month. The Tropic Eden is a way better unit then the Vertex.
Do not use the Sybon Standard Seawater Saline because it is almost 4ppT off.
I use the Pinpoint solution and find it more accurate. Also old calibration solutions are not always accurate.
