Game Changer By Cody on 12/14/11
Cody would recommend this product to a friend
I've been using a swing arm hydrometer for the entire year and a half I've been in this hobby only to find out my salinity was actually 1.2! So happy I made this purchase as I've gotten my salinity up to 1.25 and haven't looked back since.

Great Price, Incredible Accuracy, and Easy to use! By Brett on 10/15/11
Brett would recommend this product to a friend
In purchasing this refractometer for reading salinity, I am very pleased with what I received. Bulk Reef Supply did an outstanding job getting the package shipped to my front doorstep within three days, and I was very pleased with how the product was packaged. This refractometer is extremely easy to use and is incredibly accurate. In addition to that, the refractometer came with a compact, yet protecting carrying case, and also included calibration fluid, calibrating screw driver, and a pipette for obtaining water samples, making each test extremely quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting long-term success with their aquariums, and there is not a better place to get it from than Bulk Reef Supply!

I recently purchased this Reftractometer from BRS and for the money this is by far one of the best units I have seen, it's very sturdy, easy to read and even comes with calibration fluid. I highly recommend this device for all saltwater tank keepers.

Amazing product By AC2020x on 10/8/11
AC2020x would recommend this product to a friend
This refractometer is perfect for measuring salinity.... It is very easy to use and is very accurate.... I used to have a hydrometer (not very accurate) then I switched to a very cheap refractomter my friend gave me and the quality and accuracy of that wasn't near this one.
This one comes with a calibration fluid so you won't need to buy one and as it says in the instructions, it works best with calibrated each time before use. This assures you that you are reading your tanks salinity accurately!

I bought one of these and just started using it while mixing up the water for the initial fill of the aquarium. It only took about a minute to figure out how to use it, and it works great. Easy to use, clean, and re-use. Comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth, plastic eyedropper, and calibration fluid.

This is a great value in a refractometer. Kudos to BRS for including a whole bottle of calibration fluid, rather than just a one-time-use packet (or nothing at all).
It's easy enough to use and it feels solid, with good build quality.

Quality product By Chris on 7/17/11
Chris would recommend this product to a friend
A must have instrument for any reefer.
This refractometer has a solid professional feel. Full metal body construction. The eye piece can be adjusted to accommodate your eye sight. I gave the Performance 4 stars due to the fact the prism requires a bright light source. During the day any window would be fine but in the evenings you'll probably need a flashlight to shine on the prism.

Solid piece of equipment By Chris H on 7/8/11
Chris H would recommend this product to a friend
I've always used the cheap hydrometers in the past, but I've been very happy with this refractometer. It feels like a quality piece of equipment. Just remember to calibrate it to the value BRS advises you on the sticker and not what is in the user manual. Look on the bottom of the case for the sticker.

Should have bought this sooner By Dave on 4/26/11
Dave would recommend this product to a friend
I have been into reef tanks for about 10 years using a hydrometer. I knew these weren't very accurate but very easy to use. Over the last year I started adding a lot of SPS to my tank and had to make sure the water chemistry was as stable as possible. I decided to purchase this refractometer and found it even easier to use than the hydrometer and a lot more accurate! Calibration is simple with the calibration fluid that comes with the unit.

I purchased this refractometer 2 weeks ago, it also came with free calibrating solution. It has worked great so far I calibrated it which is simple and it works great. My LFS had this same product for $90 and I got it for $40, what a great deal BRS is the best.

After seeing many videos and reviews about using a refractometer I decided to purchase this one from BRS. I was questioning the inexpensive price compared to competitor online stores. Upon receipt, the instructions were very good and the quality of the unit was amazing for the price.
I was able to use the meter within minutes. The unit is very accurate. I use it on both my systems. BRS has offered a great product for a great price. I recommend this for everyone that used a Hydrometer to check salinity.

Dollar for dollar you can not beat the price for the accuracy this device provides.
The Refractometer comes complete with instructions so there is no guessing on how to use or calibrate the device. Its adjustable focus is perfect for vision adjustment even if you wear glasses. Providing free Calibration fluid is a great idea having a known value of 1026 is the way to go for the set point.

Just picked this up and it's great. Easy to use and calibrate. Replaced my old Hydrometer and showed i was at 1.024 not the 1.023 my hydrometer was saying. Sometimes the hydrometer took 3 readings to get a good reading. This gave me the same reading each time. That may not sound like much but can make a difference in the long run. Plus free calibrating fluid!
