Come on that was rude Hydrometers do give "quite" accurate reading but not always of course (I missed that). I stopped using mine after getting the refrac but I did cross refer once and they matched. Just to double check whether my refrac is out or not, I took it to LFS and they found out that its calibrated.

And ofcourse you will have to agree that sticker thermometers are totally useless while hydros do hold some degree of accuracy, at least for the start.

That wasn't meant to be rude in any way

Hydros are notoriously fallible

I was only pointing out the fact that IF you are relying on a hydrometer you are asking for trouble and most reefers would tell you that using one is crazy ....

So are you saying hydrometers are "quite" accurate, or are they "but not always of course" ??

Refractometers are the only reliable way to read Specific Gravity that I will use ......

Nop I personally use refrac since I had bad experience with hydro. I was just bringing in a comparison between hydro and sticker thermometer thats it

This is the power of misunderstanding I guess sorry for the inconvenience.

Wow, quite an earfull of info here. Thanks all. I've already recieved several pms regarding my WTB equipment ad, and it looks like some of the members are going to hook me up pretty well. I guess if the consensus is that I don't need the FX5 at all, I'll be putting an ad up to get rid of it!
