I'm deciding at the moment wether to go for a few SAPs or figure 8. Obviously if I go for a F8 I'm going to need one of these so if you could point me in the direction of a few good models that would be helpful!

Re: Recommended Refractometer for Brackish?
I bought mine off Ebay. For BW it doesn't have to be exact but be sure to calibrate it.

Re: Recommended Refractometer for Brackish?
Is brackish much easier to maintain than full marine then, I mean are the fish not as sensitive I guess?
I was worried about which to get as read that some meters don't go low enough to do brackish but maybe that was the other type?

You need to get one that measures saltwater.
Personally, I think that once set up, SW is easier to maintain.
