Refractometers

This isn't really a question, I just wanted to post how cool these things are. I got my order today, and calibrated it.

Having one of these makes me really feel like I'm putting good effort into this hobby. Makes me feel like a doctor of sorts!

If you don't have one, get one! That's all! Have a good day!

Good post! Definitely a necessary piece of equipment for any serious reefkeeper.

Def a worthy investment when properly calibrated.

Sure did! Hydrometer read 1.020, and my Refratometer read 1.025! Hydrometer will find a new home in the garbage can!
