You need to be careful on what you get on ebay. I bought one & could not get it to read correct. After doing some searching around, I found out that it was not made for saltwater.

You can get a good SYBON FG100SA for $49.95 at www.aquacave.com

I know its a little more money, buts its for saltwater & you can be sure it will be the right refractometer.

For $20.00 more, I wouldn't chance it.............How much $$$ do you have into your tank now ??
