  • Don't waste your time with anything else By Michael on 6/12/13

    When I moved from freshwater to reefing keeping the salinity in check was my biggest fear. I bought this refractometer from day one and am so glad I did! It is incredibly easy to use, easy to read, and lets me keep an eye on salinity in just a few seconds. It's so easy to use that I find myself checking my salinity frequently just as a sanity check. Don't even waste your time with a hydrometer when this is so cheap and easy.

  • Sucks! By Brandon on 6/7/13

    This thing is a piece of crap! The calibration screw moves on it's own after you get it where you need it. You have to calibrate it to a 1.023, let go of the screwdriver and wait for the screw to move on it's own until it reads 1.026

    Once you wash the calibration fluid off and put your drops of saltwater on this thing, who knows how far the screw has moved itself. There is no way to get an accurate reading with this thing as long as the calibration screw moves itself slowly back to it's original position.

    Avoid this refractometer.

    I learned my $10 plastic hydrometer is surprisingly
    still fairly accurate after 4 years. But I now have peace
    of mind that my tank IS the salinity I want it to be. I felt
    like I was just winging it before I got this.

    This is my first refractometer and its great. It's heavy and sturdy and easy to calibrate. The protective case is good to and the calibration fluid is easy to use.

    Much better than my hydrometer and now I'm not going to LFS getting my salinity double checked.

  • Accurate and easy to use By Tammy on 5/28/13

    This was the first refractometer I have used and I must say it is a great and accurate product. I really liked that it came with calibration fluid and a case. The instrument is east to use and very high quality. I always know my readings are going to be accurate with this. Would highly recommend this product!

  • Great value, precision instrument By Reefrobster on 5/22/13

    This has been my first experience using a refractometer. I was using the plastic hydrometer before and I felt like I wasn't getting accurate reads on my salinity so I opted to spend a little money and get a refractometer. I shopped around and found this one from BRS at a reasonable price. It has been a great purchase. Instrument feels solid and is very easy to calibrate. I like that they include the calibration fluid and the instrument comes in a nice protective case. I now feel assured that I can get a good read on my reef tanks salinity using this precision instrument. Well worth the money.

  • Best Option Unless You Spend $100+ By Jeff on 5/18/13
    Jeff would recommend this product to a friend
    My impression is that other places used to have good refractometers at $40 - nowadays it is much harder to find one of this quality that comes with a holding case and calibration fluid included.

  • High Quality By JORGE on 5/12/13

    It's high quality and also comes in a kit with everything you need, even the calibration solutions that helps us make sure the readings are the right ones.
