Refractometer

Where is the best place to buy a refractometer for the best price?

Along for this ride also! Looking for a good ratio of quality/price.

Syban ones are good, $50-60 anywhere online

I bought mine from ebay for $25.

Yeah, ebay for $25 works great.

I looked on ebay and there are tons of them and I am worried about getting a knock off one that will fail prematurely. Do you guys have a link to the one/brand/modle you got.

Thanks

I got mine on sale at Drs. Foster and Smith years ago and it's still working great. I had always calibrated it with RO/DI but then recently tested it with Randy's Calibration Solution and it was dead on.

I was looking at this one

But the thing that I am worried about is that is says Aquarium "POND" refractometer. Is there a differance?

Thanks for the info guys.

Be carefull about buying a refractometer on Ebay...Some refractormeters are made to test Anti-Freeze....BUT are passed off as Salinity meters on Ebay..( NOT ALL...JUST BE CAREFULL )

Yor can get a good Sybon from www.aquacave.com for $49.95
