Good price so hopefully a good refractometer.

I was either gonna get a refractometer from Marine Depot or BRS. They're both pretty much the same, but I went with BRS because they included calibration solution as well.

Just be sure to calibrate it with a seawater standard (DIY or commercial) as calibration with RO/DI will likely give inaccurate readings in reef tank water. :)
