Liked and subscribed. I need one of these. Okay I'd like one of these. Wonder how it compares to the Icecap. I've been fairly happy with the Icecap. Had a few issues with it though. Hopefully this is a better product all around. I believe the first generation Icecap with the cup can't be calibrated but the second gen without the cup can. Hope this product gets better reviews. Thanks for the video.
Looks great for those of us getting older and having a hard time looking through a refractometer. Hence why I've started moving from Red Sea test Kits to Hanna.
Bought on of these but was going to send back because just so much to buy in this hobby and since I had 2 refractomoters and 2 hydrometers I picked up buying used aquariums. I bought a hanna checker ph as well and just so costly buying all the calibrations and a big pain in the but as well when I thought it would be simpler. Anyway, my red sea refractometer sucks. inconsistent readings over and over again and my other one started doing the same so I might keep this now. What i want to know is the ph one has to be stored in a fluid that adds more expense on top of it all. This dosnt or does it? Looks like I just rinse and put cap back on or do I need the storage solotion they call it?
This has never matched my refractometer, even right after both were calibrated! I assumed my refractometer was off but pretty sure its this. I have it set to specific gravity being thats what I am used to. After I follwed all the steps it says use so I didint right way being I didnt want o get any chemicals in my tank! So if you dont shut it off or use right away it will say error! I tried it again and just shut it off after but since my refractometer and this are always about 4 points off I decide I wanted a way to verify this is right I always just used rodi and that does say zero but when you put it in to its solution to test it tell me 1022 when it is clearly 3500 ppt!! My tank crash over low salinity that was 1019 for at least 2 weeks and I have been trusting this for about a month and I am sure it is wrong! I should be able to test the calibration fluid! If not then what can I test besides rodi? Its no wonder all my lps corals died. My softies still aint looking so hot and my tank is cleaned every week and levels are perfect now! I dont even know what to do now about mixing my water! I am going to change it back to ppt and then check the fliud but it shouldnt matter 35 ppt is 1026 so that fluid should read 1026 not 1022!
Just yesterday, my 7yo daughter and I started measuring and charting our tank perimeters daily (temp, salinity, pH, etc). My float hydrometer read 1.022 the other day, but the LFS's refractometer came up 1.024 when I asked them to test for me. I think a digital meter would be easier for my daughter to use (although maybe not as cool), but I'm wondering how often and how expensive calibration is.
Nice product! Can’t go wrong with Hanna Instruments!

Seems like a very nice and easy way to test salinity . That it is waterproof is a very nice extra bonus.
Thank you for the video.
Looks like a great product!
Looks cool!
This would make life so easy
I am excited for The New Tester!!!
I need this!!
Love to have on
i really new one of these!
Awesome
I really want this.
Just what I need to to add to the arsenal
Love this tester it makes things easier
This would sure make testing easier... I need to get one

Nice!
Nice
Thanks for the video!
this is great!
Hannah makes it easy !
Might have to invest in this
Nice review... keep it up. I want to try it now.
nice
This would save me so much time.
Nice, I need one pronto 😉
looks like an easy to use meter and I could really use one
I want one
i am looking for one of these for years.
I need this "bad boy" gonna start a set up soon on a red sea reefer 250 and this would be great to add to my tool belt
Great vid, st8 to the point. I'm sold. Thanks! :)
Modern reef tools (thumbs up) Thanks for the review. In to win...
now this is a good piece of mind for your salinity! not to mention butterfingers over here can be pissed when he drops it in the water !

Is this for specifically for salt water tanks? I bought one I have a mabuna chilids tank
Excellent tutorial! Nice catch about rinsing before use the first time. Thanks!
simple and informative thanks for your work
Looks like a pretty nice little device! Thanks Premium aquatics and Jeff!
Looks like a great product. Thank you for the video
I definitely need to get one these. Especially with multiple tanks.
I really want to try one of these!
Looks like a great tester. This would be a huge time saver
I have the Milwaukee now. This seems much simpler.
Thank you for the brief review. It's on my list of things I need. I am tired of refractometers and hydrometers.
I am currently using a Refractor-meter. This is a awesome alternative.
Awesome Video. You explain/review the product simply and it still has more information for those of us tech nerds...
Looks like a great product, would love to try it out!

Fantastic review. Thanks for the video. May need to grab one for myself.
Good job, would love one of these
Thank you for doing this video, been trying to get some research done and this is a great start
Great review, exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks!
Looks incredible, would love to use it!
Thank you for doing product reviews.
Thank you for reviewing this.
Gotta love Hanna products!
It's nice to see a review for this. Thanks!
Looks like a nice upgrade to a hydrometer, thanks for the review
Great video! Looks a lot easier to calibrate compared to the icecap model. I'll have to look into this. Thank you!!
Cool tech! Starting a new saltwater setup after a few years off. Would love to have this for the new tank!
Thanks for the review! I’ve been needing this!
Is the calibration fluid the same as for a refractometer?
I’ve been waiting for you to review this thank you
Another quality product from Hanna, a must have!
Thumbs Up, subscribed already, thank you for reviewing Hanna makes testing easy on the eyes..
very cool, but too expensive
Nice review. Thanks Jeff 👍🏼
Would love one of these but there so expensive, especially for someone who isn’t old enough to work
Would love to try this thing out! Just can't spare the extra money. Thanks for the review, you made me want it even more!
Thank you for the review.
Thumbs up, subscribed and here is my comment! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Looks super convenient. Currently using a refractometer for my new Nuvo 20 that I bought from your store!
Nicd video! Interesting product, kinda want one lol.
Thanks for the review, looks like a great product.
Thanks for watching!
Too dark couldn’t see the screen
I seriously need this in my life lol

Hi how long I can keept once opened the calibration solution?
I'm starting a second tank . It might be time to try some new tech with it, might have to invest in one.
Thanks for the video, how hard is it to clean?
Maybe it's time to ditch the hydrometer.
I need one in my life... buajajaja!!! As always, a great product review.

Awesome tool but expensive ;(
Great review, I wish you'd mention the pricing, wish Hannah wasn't so pricey.

How often dose it need to be “re calibrated”? Every use?
Good video! Raffle me up
