The BRS Refractometer is accurate! It is worth every penny and I would highly recommend this product to any customer.

Works perfectly By Nathan on 8/3/12

I was previously using a Hydrometer and thought I was getting accurate readings, boy was I wrong. My hydrometer was reading 1.025 and after calibrating the refractometer, it was showing 1.028. In an attempt to determine which one was correct, I used the bottle of calibration fluid to fill my hydrometer.
It turns out the refractometer was correct and the hydrometer was reading low.
I would recommend this to anyone that wants an accurate salinity reading. Just make sure you let it sit for about 30 seconds for the temperature to adjust.

Aside from the animals in the tank, this is my favorite single item purchased for keeping a Marine Aquarium. Make this your first purchase if your a Newbie. You will not regret it. Great product! Great price!

I am new to the hobby, and decided to get this. It came with a cleaning clothe, the solution, and a nice case. The one I got is grey, and overall pretty simple to use. Thanks BRS!

easy to setup and calibrate. Tested my results against the expensive one at my LFS and numbers came out same.

Instructions were easy. I compared against my LFS more expensive ones and they came up with the same numbers. Calibration was easy and quick.

This is so much easier, faster, and more accurate. I wish I had bought this months ago.

Harder to read than I was expecting By Jacob on 7/1/12
Jacob wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
For me the little scale inside is hard to read. I can get within a line or two but the lines are so close together that I can't estimate whether it's "1/2" or "3/4" - you know, like you can estimate the space between mm or 1/8th markings on a good thin ruler. Anyways that's why the 3 stars for performance - it's not very easy to read.
If the lines could be made further apart by choice of optics or any other method so it could be read more easily that would be a great improvement.
While not very precise, for me anyway, it does seem to be accurate. The calibration process is pretty easy and it even happens to agree pretty closely with a hydrometer I have - though that says more about the hydrometer than this refractometer..
