Premium Blue Refractometer - RHS-10ATC

Nautilus · 03-07-2004, 10:15 AM

This has got to be the best buy I have ever done.
This unit is not only my favorite color but is pin point accurate.
Have a hand held and it reads 1.023 and the refractometer reads 1.026. It is a life saver for sure and does not cost much at all. Thanks a million.

I also have one of these exact setups, very acurate, and ATC (Automatic temp compinsation). It is right on the top of my Must have list, for reef keeping.

I definately agree- refractometers are almost "cant live without" equipment.

I would have thought you had one of everything by now

I agree, great refractometer.
I got mine through ebay though... same model and everything.
Funny thing is I was expecting it to feel 'cheap', but it's a solidly built unit. Great deal for the money.

I am wondering how I got along so long with out it.

I just ordered one of these

Per Boomer, this refractometer is correctly calibrated for our reef systems

(thanks for the testing on refractometers Boomer!)

Doni, your the QUEEN of Old Thread Resurrections...how much RAM do you have in that brain of yours?

Woodstock · 10-09-2005, 11:33 AM

LOL~~ 2 gig DDR ram of course.... I also defrag frequently so that helps keep the system running smoothly!

You mean to tell me that all that ranting Boomer did here and in other forums about refractometers needing re-calibrated out of the box (+1) because they were not set for NSW testing was a bunch of B.S.?
Boomer Boomer Boomer... go stand in the corner!

No.. most do need the adjustment and the adjustment should be +1.5.

/me gives Boomer a "Get out of the corner FREE" card
