best Hydrometer period

Most people that have trouble with this style of hydrometer have too small of tanks to use, or don't realized that everything (pumps and filters) need to be turned off.
I have checked the accuracy of this product by measuring its properties against a set salt value on quantity of salt to water ratio. This is the best, and most accurate hydrometer money can buy. Avoid those overpriced ones with moving parts (because of that) they have a tendency to be inaccurate.
sometimes, the simple tried and true, lab style glass meters can't be beat. I won't use plastic ones with moving parts, ever. My reef is too expensive, so this glass hydrometer is all I use.
Happy reef keeping:)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for Brackish Tanks!

Most SG meters don't go low enough. I have used these hydrometers for years for my brackish tanks to keep it within the 1.001 - 1.008 range as needed.

Terribly inaccurate and very difficult to read. The difference between this and the actual specific gravity can spell death for your fish and invertebrates. Do your fish a favor and spring out for a more expensive (and accurate) model.
I would recommend this to a friend!
