Its precision and compact design provides accurate readings that aquarists of any level can understand. Accuracy to 0.001 specific gravity units. Recommended specific gravity for most marine aquariums is between 1.021 and 1.023. Recommended specific gravity for most reef aquariums is between 1.024 and 1.026. Salt deposits that accumulate on pointer will result in incorrect readings.
