Refractometer Opinion....

Well, the wedding was quite expensive so I didn't spend as much as I would have liked to on the refractometer. THis is the one I got on Ebay. Looks just like the one on marinedepotlive.com. Any thoughts on these? It can be calibrated.

Thanks Yote! Everything seems to be working great so far! She has become slightly more opinionated lately........... but she's making a wonderful attempt to cook gourmet meals lately.............. so it's totally offset. Woohoo.

I'll look forward to my new hydrometer now thanks to you. Turns out my cheapo Coralife deal was waaaaaaaaaay off. Lovely I know. Thanks again.

If you think shes getting opinionated now,just wait about 17 years.,
Hard to beat a hot wife that cooks to though.
