Okay thanks

it measures for both salinity...which is in PPT on one side and specific gravity on the other....i know that the SG should be btwn 1.005 and 1.008...but i just wanted to know if it matters that the salinity is measured in PPt not PPM the brand is instant ocean...im debating weather i should just get...
