Is this a good Hydrometer??

i really like this Hydrometer because it can stay in the water and i don't have to clean it but is it any good?? i added the link below..

Red Sea Hydrometer W/Digital Thermometer - Water Test Kits - Hydrometers at BigalsOnline

;D;D

 

I wouldn't waste your money on one of these. Get a Refractometer - RHS-10ATC This is a automatic temperature compensate for salinity.

 

looks like 1 more way to steal your $10. spend the extra $20 and get a refractometer

 

If you insist on a hydrometer thats the worst, look at the Instant Ocean model. I would skip the hydrometer myself, I bought a refractometer years ago and threw all three of my hydrometers in the back of the closet, not one agreed with either each other or the refractometer. I did use a Sharpie and mark corrections on each but it was a hassle compared to dropping two drops or water on the refractometer and looking into the light. Everyone talks about breaking them but I have had mine 6 years and the rubber/armor coating protects it very well. Its a Sybon brand by the way.

 

I am just looking for something very easy it sound like this refractometer sounds like a hard task... anything like digital?? I like to live in the Digital world ;D;D

 

Well that hydrometer you were looking at isn't digital they lied. It has the same substance as a digital display (liquid crystals) but instead of being excited electronically they are excited thermally.

 

They are the easiest things to use. Once you get one you'll see.

 

A true digital meter is going to cost a couple hundred dollars at least.


Aquarium Testing, Controllers & Monitors: Pinpoint Salinity Monitor

 

LOL, the refractometer requires you to put 2 drops of the water being tested on the glass window and then look thru the eye piece to read the number. It's as digital as you will find

 

Right i noticed that haha i saw it in a store....
