Recommend a refractometer?

[mirepa]

Anyone recommend a good refractometer or any other way to measure salt levels accurately.

I got a refractometer right now in a blue box made in china that has to be calibrated every single time... and even when zeroed out it's off. I've been using my coralife hydrometer in conjunction with a floating hydrometer to sorta get an in-accurate tell of what my salt levels are.

Preferably w/o breaking the bank =].

I bought the Vertex refractometer from Barrier Reef. Very solid construction and stays calibrated. More $$$ than the ebay ones but I am sure a better product. They run $59.99. Great investment for me.

Hmmm wonder if I should get the Vertex or the Marine Depot special?

for the extra $10 bucks or so the Vertex is the way to go, and you don't have to wait for it, and who knows you me even go home with a frag or a fish as well
