Designed for reef hobbyists who demand precision, the Tropic Marin® High Precision Hydrometer provides reliable readings of specific gravity in your saltwater aquarium. With a maximum deviation of just 0.001 and a resolution of 0.0001, this tool ensures you maintain optimal salinity levels for coral and marine life health.
How to Use:
-
Fill the Measuring Cylinder
Use up to 400 ml of saltwater at 25 °C / 77 °F—temperature is critical, as specific gravity is temperature-dependent.
-
Insert the Hydrometer
Ensure the hydrometer is dry and clean, then gently place it into the water so it floats freely without touching the sides.
-
Take the Reading
Read the value on the blue scale at the water surface level—not the meniscus (the curved edge of the water line).
-
Clean After Use
Rinse both the cylinder and hydrometer thoroughly with fresh tap or RO water to prevent salt buildup that could affect accuracy.
