Its pretty cool, I put it right under a bright light and I can easily see the blue now. Surprisingly my slainity in both tanks is very good. The nano was a perfect 1.025, the 125 is about 1.023 but I added a lot of top off to raise the water lvl in the fuge. Its more accurate then the swing arm, but the swing arm wasn't to bad after all.

Sparky has fishy dreams
I also have a swing arm, and a floating type. Both are fairly accurate but neither is tempature compensated like the refractometer is. I don't know how much temp plays into the measure of things but I wanted to be as accurate as possible.
