Refractometers

[Sharkonwheels]

Anyone know if an LFS locally sells 'em?
Not TOO expensive?

Trying to do the hyposalinity, and watching it drop slowly with the plastic hydrometer, but I know those are nowhere near as precise as is need to get the salinity to 14ppt as recommended.

Or, anyone got a spare near Miramar/PPines?

What does one of these go for? I use the swing arm kind.

I got one at Reef Life for $45, which isn't bad. You look on ebay, yeah, they're $29-32, but add the $10 shipping, and I'd rather get it at a lfs.
Like anything, there's cheap imports, and there's higher-priced stuff. YMMV on the imports. Mine is doing OK, and I have no complaints.
