More accurately, what I mean to say is...you'd think that the temperature of a few drops of water would change, dramatically, as they are removed from the aquarium and I wonder how a refractometer could possibly take that into account.

But then, I have never used a refractometer and am not sure how they are employed. Do you just dip a probe into the tank water itself?

Cheers,
