exactly, it always amazes me that people have no problem spending 500 on rock, and thousands on coral but cheep out on test equipment.

having the most accurate method of measuring your salinity isn't getting silly either, as a lot of problem can come from salinity and if you don't know if your device is off or not how can you find the problem? Just ask Aquattro what happens when you trust old swing arms to much

imo, take the hydrometers and throw them in the trash. they are horriably calibrated

switching to a refractometer is probably one of the best things you can do for a reef tank
