hanna salinity tester/ and cheap refractometer

[FWTXReefnerd]

I bought a agricultural solutions refractometer when I first started my tank. I struggle to read the numbers on it and have found it to be inaccurate. I went ahead and bought a hanna salinity tester thinking it would be easier to use but I find myself constantly needing to calibrate the thing. I am running through the calibration solution. i'm on my second order from BRS in only a few months. My question is... is there a refractometer out there that's reasonably priced and accurate? What are you guys using? I'm not really trying to spend more than a couple hundred dollars here. I will spend a little more to insure accuracy. Thanks in advance for your help.

IMO Hanna salinity checker works great…IF you rinse it off after every time you use it. I have much better luck with this than I have any standard refractometer.

Fill to 450 or it will overflow, lol.

Good to see all the positive reviews for the Hanna. Just ordered one and was nervous after reading some of the reviews on Amazon but I figured a lot of it could be user error. Amazon seems to have a lot of that.
