The correct salinity is essential for the health of marine fish and corals. A stable value ensures conditions similar to natural ones and prevents stress or imbalances in the hosted organisms.
Hydrometers are inexpensive and easy-to-use tools, suitable for quick checks. Refractometers, on the other hand, offer greater precision and reliability thanks to optical reading, making them the ideal choice for expert aquarists and complex reef tanks.
Both are indispensable tools for anyone starting or managing a marine aquarium. For measurement range, precision, and usage, consult the product sheets.
Tip: Take regular measurements and always at the same water temperature; even small variations in salinity can negatively affect corals.
