Refragtometer

[Saltwater_Reefing]

I have had my refractometer to test my salinity for over a year now and it doesn't seem to hold a calibration but from use to use. What is a good one to buy I know they can be hit and miss and not hold a calibration.

I think I am going to go with a hydrometer, until I upgrade to the Milwaukee digital one. Probably good to have both on hand anyways.

Check out the Hanna salinity tester too. Really accurate and easy to use.

Not sure if you can get D&D h2ocean over there, its a good one and at the lower end price wise, if you want to go Ferrari lvl a VeeGee is probably as good as it gets for a refractometer

I calibrate mine before each measurement, which means multiple times when mixing saltwater... It's so easy to do and then I don't need to worry about it being off.

I also use the TM Hydrometer.
