Thats what I thought. I was leaning more to the vertex side and the info sells it better.

I had to get one to be able to have my brackish tank since it was only 1.004 and thats really what got my started into all this. Am I ever happy about that.

same experience here
Bought the cheapest refractometer I could find on Ebay and then took it into the lab at school and tested it against the"high end" one thier and they consistantly made identical measurments. I think this is one case where you don't have to spend a bunch to get a good product.....nice in this hobby
