They both do the same thing, just in different ways. Refractometers are far more reliable. There are a few types of hydrometers, but they just don't compare in reliability.

this is tank will be a bit of an experiment in convincing my wife that a large salt water tank would be a good thing!

Ah, I see. Ha ha. Let her pick out the fish, then.

Avoid the Court Jester and Hector's Gobies, though. They feed a lot like Mandarin Gobies, and aren't that easy to take care of...

Firefish are cool. I'd get one if I had room. I'm happy with my two Occelaris clowns, though.
