Very accurate

I have a very accurate refractometer, but I still like the convenience of just dipping a box-shaped specific gravity meter and getting instant results. Coralife, Instant Ocean etc. I found them unreliable at best. This Boxtech has been very accurate so far, almost achieving what my refractometer says. In terms of design and accuracy, it reminds me of the very first hydrometer I owned over 30 years ago.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Extremely inaccurate

I have a brackish shrimp so I bought this to regulate the salt levels. Luckily I ate very little salt so as not to burden them. However, the readings never seemed to change in this case and I didn't want to risk the shrimp. So I took a bowl of water and measured 1.004, poured in a ton of salt, waited about 30 minutes and checked again. Shown at 1.012, left and tasted the same water and it showed 1.019 and then 1.014 and 1.016. I can say with confidence that this counter is going straight to the

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power

Make sure you read this.

If you're new to this, pay attention. Bubbles form on the float, which must be shaken off (very easy). DO NOT install this in your aquarium or algae will grow. How to use it correctly: 1. Fill with water, tap the tank to make bubbles.2. Repeat step 1 about 5 times3. Fill with water and read off. This is calibrated to 77 degrees Fahrenheit or 25 degrees Celsius. If you have fish in cold water (up to 25 degrees Celsius), use google.com to find conversion tables. It's not a big difference, but…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring Packaging
