Refractometer question.

[Treecop]

I have a refractometer that I use for brewing beer. It will measure specific gravity. Can I use it to measure the salt content for a saltwater aquarium?

Yes you can! In fact many things we use in the aquarium trade can be found in other hobbies at a much better quality for a fraction of the price. I have one for wine that I've used that works perfectly. Just clean it.

Just make sure it’s the proper range and calibrate it with distilled water here and there.
