Ocean's Salinity
I think it would be cool to take a hydrometer to the ocean and measure that salinity. Has anyone ever done it? And also check all the other perameters.

Re: Ocean's Salinity
Never done it,but it would be cool.
But I'd use a refractometer instead of a hydrometer.I think you would have to get the water samples down on the reefs to accurate readings. That would make a great summer vacation.
