I have a little trouble reading my believed,.....Bulk Reef Supply's, Refractometer as the lines are very small and part of that is because of the wide scale.
I looked at Marine Depots Pro model that the scale is very short, reading from scale.
Most Refractometer's normally reads from 0-100 ppt when we are really only interested in the region from 30-40 ppt. The Marine Depot Aquarium Pro Refractometer has therefore been specifically designed to read from 1.015-1.030 which gives you much better resolution of a normal 1.000-1.070 scale. The scale lines are supposed to be wider, which makes it easier to read.
Those of you that have experience with this one and other brands, please give me your thoughts between them, not only for an easier scale to see, but also the quality and accuracy !!!
I wish all of these had a light, for us hard seeing people ! (getting old ya know)
Our house does not have much for sunlight, so I have to view the reading into a lamp.
