so youre taking the claims/words of one person and their opinion about a piece of equipment(refractometer) and implying that its true? what "research" was done by nantopia? with what evidence to support that refractometers are inaccurate and read high?
its a tool, that does a specific job and can be calibrated for accuracy. Im not sure why the sentiment of anti/against or refusing to accept the reading of refractometers.
Many hobbyists, scientists and researchers use this tool daily for all sorts of purposes, but specifically to test/read SG... thats what it does.
no reason to throw it in the trash or dismiss it, if you think yours are incorrect, calibrate and try again. perhaps, get another.
i use a refract. daily for my tank and calibrate daily with solution. I suppose the solution could be improperly made, but cant think of any reason why it would read higher than actual.
