Just got my Refractormeter from MD

hmmm i just drop a agave worm in the water and if it dies theres enough salt.

 

Ziggy's throwing back shots of Patron or Sauza over there from the sound of it.

 

oops I meant my hydrometer was off not the refract. I calibrated with distilled water too.

 

i will get one luna. which one you have and is it big difference if i get "better" expensive one? can i calibrate with ro/di water which i make for my tank?

 

Funny how we all think that this is such a big investment. It took me 12 years before I bought one. Thing is with the hydromater if you don't like the reading take it again! Easily fluctuates +/- .002 don't care what brand it is.

Sad part is we spend a ton of money on everything else. So why are so not inclined to spend 50-100 dollars on somthing that we will use monthly/weeky and for some of you daily! I can't believe it took me that long to buy something that works perfect for me everytime!

Anything else we use that reliable?...if so what did that cost.

 

Well said, Jakerupe! It's an investment that I didn't get around to making until I went reef.

 

I got the one thats on sale at Aquarium supplies for your tropical fish tank, saltwater fish tank, saltwater aquarium fish, freshwater aquarium fish & reef aquarium. Aquarium filters, aquarium lighting, aquarium tanks, protein skimmers & more for your reef tank. for $39.99. Im glad I didnt get the expensive one b/c as I have mentioned before, My hydrometer wasnt off by much. Some differences are just comfort. Some come with a built-in light, some come already calibrated. Just log on and you be the judge. Good luck. Luna

 

Thats the exact same one I have, love it. I dont really see any reason to get the expensive $100 models.

 

Looks similiar to the one I have. I would tell you that of the three on there there is not much of a difference, just cost. They are all just bending light so save some money.

 

Dr Foster Smith has a pretty good deal for what they call a salt mixing kit.
