I know, that one guy's study says hydrometers are accurate, but in my ever so humble opinion, if you're not using a refractometer (Or a electronic conductivity meter) you might as well be trying to measure salinity by taste!

I agree with Serk. A refractometer is the only way to go.

May you all be well and happy. 210 mixed reef with 90 gallon sump/fuge 22 gallon frag tank 20 gallon Mantis tank

If the taste is off, I grab my refractometer!
