I want to be you when I grow up. Until then, I am stuck living out my child hood fantasies in a desert oasis with no access to ocean water.This is so easy and silly. Like I said many times, take your cheap swing arm hydrometer to where ever your fish was collected. Jump in the water with the thing and using a permanent marker draw a line on it where the arm floats. No calibration, no nothing and it's perfect, more perfect than the most expensive refractometer.
