OK, somebody tell me the difference between the 40 dollar version and the 120 dollar version. Time's a wasting!

How often do you calibrate it? Right now, mine is off .0015 based on the LFS refractometer reading and my IO Hydrometer. That is fine with me until I can get a refractometer.

I have exceeded 5 times that much since I woke up yesterday. Not including a refractometer. All on a fish tank and supplies for it. No, she isn't going to be happy.
