Hey
Looking for a way to measure my salinity in my office tank and when mixing up new salt water. I was about to purchase another refractometer but was considering getting one of the pens/ digital ones. Looking for something quick and easy to use. Any recommendations?
I have a refractometer and the digital Milwaukee one at home. I like the idea of the small pen like ones
I saw Hanna has one, Icecap, and poseidon pen

Thanks

I have heard great things about the Hanna one. I would go for that if I were you.

I prefer conductivity to refractometers. What to get depends on your budget and what else you want to measure with it.

The pinpoint was fine when i used it, but I prefer an Orion model 128 meter (or similar model; have to buy used). They have more uses and respond faster and read temp as well.
