Great Deal By Jeffrey on 9/11/12

This meter works great. A great value for your dollar and works excellent when properly calibrated. Easy to use, and love the fact that it come with calibration fluid. I would recommend this to anyone. My LFS had one they tried to sell me the exact same model at 64 dollars with no fluid, I said no way and told them they need to start doing their internet research, on pricing. I don't mind supporting them but when for what they wanted to charge me I could have bought to of these.

Good, i think. By Chris on 9/7/12

I've been using the Instant Ocean swing arm hydrometer for my entire reefing career.
I always ran my main tank at 1.025-1.026 on the IO hydrometer. I read how inaccurate swing arm hydrometers can be, so I got a little worried and ordered this refractometer.
Well I finally received the refractometer and after calibrating it with the solution it came with, my main tank is reading a wonderful 1.026. Maybe my swing arm hydrometer is one of a kind.
But this refractometer does make me feel better in confirming the salinity of my tanks.

Works as stated, but still use float type meter By Steven on 9/4/12
Steven would recommend this product to a friend
This product works as stated and is more reliable than a float type meter, but the float meter is so much faster and easier to use. I use the refractometer periodically to check my float meter. The line is also a little blurry, even after adjusting the focus. I don't know if they are all like this. Maybe a more expensive one would have a cleaner line to read.

It's a cool toy to use. It has the same reading as my hydrometer each time so far. Can't say it's better or worse... maybe I've just got a good hydrometer!

This refractometer is simple to use and dead on accurate. So much easier than a hydrometer. Do yourself a favor and skip hydrometers and just buy this first.

Finally replaced my cheap swing arm hydrometer with this refractometer. The difference is night and day when it comes to dead on accuracy for Salinity. Best decision ever to switch to this product. Highly recommended

MUST HAVE By Tom on 8/12/12
Tom would recommend this product to a friend
I was surprised by the weight, it is very well built and easy to use. Make sure it is calibrated with the included fluid and you are set. A must have because of doing frequent water changes, I use it all the time. I am glad I bought this from the start, saved myself money in the end.
