refractometer
What would be a quality relativivly cheap refractometer. The 10$ hydrometer is not pulling it's weight anymore. Especially with adding more and more coral's. I would rather pay a little more and have that peace of mind than guess with the hydrometer. And also a good RO/Di unit im looking into. If anyone can nudge me in a good direction I would real be thankful.

Take your pick. I have a more "expensive" refractometer but have heard the cheaper ones are just as good.
The RO/DI units are about the same also. Just pick the proper GPD rating and the filters are for the most part interchangable. I got my RO from ebay.

The pocket refractometer from drsfostersmith.com works great. Well worth the investment.

I have an ebay refractometer that wasn't very expensive and it works well.
