jmara Big Fish Posts: 438 Kudos: 431 Votes: 145 Registered: 06-Mar-2003	I want to buy a refractometer and I am looking at Drs Foster and Smith]http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=12132&N=2004+113761[/link] (or [link=this one]http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=9957&N=2004+113761[/link]) and [link=MarineDepot. I am ordering some other things from Drs. Foster And Smith due to it's free shipping. I guess I am having trouble figuring out which refractometer will stand the test of time and be accurate. I would appreciate the help -Josh Last edited by jmara at 25-Dec-2005 21:42 -Josh

I have the one from [link=http://www.acropora.net]http://www.acropora.net" style="COLOR: #3c4e82[/link] because the owner is a local guy, and part of my reef club. It's a great kit/great deal. -Ferret [img src='/images/forums/halo.gif' border=0] -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Also, you dont have to calibrate them that often if you keep it in the box and away from moisture.
