I'll trust my NIST certified Hanna over my cheap amazon refractometer any day.I have a refractometer and two different swing arm hydrometers . The second one just came in the mail to see if it lined up with either two. All read differently with the same tank. I have to calibrate my refractometer almost every use. I don't know what to trust anymore. HAHAHA
I want to get one of these as well. Pulling plugs and then remembering to plug it back in is a pain.To answer your original question, for me its my powerbar. My tank set up is very low tech and beginner compared to others but this powerbar makes switching things off and on a dream. View attachment 2554917
Ya, I put here because my original post was dealing with salinity but now, you're probably right. Better off somewhere else.@revhtree Should this thread be in the 'Reef Chemistry' forum? It might get more exposure elsewhere.
I think I will have trust issue no matter what.... I guess thats more about me though HAHAHAI'll trust my NIST certified Hanna over my cheap amazon refractometer any day.
was STILL only at 1.020! I calibrated the Hanna twice with the cal fluid and verified it! After cal it read the calibration fluid at 35 ppt. Spot on.
So, lesson learned, I cannot trust those refractometers.
The Hannah Salinity checker is the single best pu
It closer matches how much salt is added to give 35ppt. For mix to read 35ppt with the refractometer I would use several less cups of salt which didn’t match mixing directions.What convinces you that the calibrated hannah is more accurate than the calibrated refractometer?
It makes me feel super high tech lolI want to get one of these as well. Pulling plugs and then remembering to plug it back in is a pain.
