Ok I have a problem.

I recently bought an aqua-medic salinity meter because i was fed up with needing to calibrate my refractometer every few days.

I have calibrated the meter and the source sample reads 1.026 as it should.

I put a drop on my refractometer and exactly the same reading.

Here is the problem.

meter says tank is 1.024 refractometer says 1.029!

What do i trust? if anyone has any knowledge on the aquamedic salinity meter please please tell me if you have had a similar problem.

thanks all.
