the glass one. I had to take it to my lfs for calibration but it has serviced me me well.What is a ‘regular’ one...? Glass hydrometer, cheap plastic pointers as car battery ones with the squeeze bulb?
If you mean like the tropic marin you don't calibrate you temperature adjust. This type is calibrate at a specific temperature depending on application. Here is article by Randythe glass one. I had to take it to my lfs for calibration but it has serviced me me well.
I have no idea what name brand it is as it was given to me by a friend. Living reef Orlando did the calibration using theirs's and some liquid that is for the purpose. It has not steered me wrong. I clean it after every use and keep it in a zip-loc bag .If you mean like the tropic marin you don't calibrate you temperature adjust.

Sounds like the employees are hard on your equipmentI've purchased at least six Milwaukee MA887's over the years. They just don't hold up to tank side use - my staff has destroyed all but one. Water intrusion, broken/loose prisms, and leaks around the test well. Now that I know they are plus or minus 2 ppt (i should have read the documentation!) we sure won't be getting any additional ones.

My experience is 2 used carefully have the same end result. I think sps need more stability than +/- 2 ppt.I've purchased at least six Milwaukee MA887's over the years.
