nope, have not see that one. usually you can recognize the manufacturer, but i do not on this one. i am sure it is more accurate than a hydrometer.

this guy has some quality refractometers, I purchased mine for 26 bucks I think, and 9 bucks to ship. (total was under $35) And it was shipped fast. http://cgi.ebay.com/Salt-Salinity-Re...QQcmdZViewItem

jsut have to watch the items, I watched for a couple weeks, marine depot has the same one for 44 plus ship.

I would say to just get a more expensive one becuas by the time you pay for shipping from hong kong, its all going to be about the same price in the long run
