A Refractometer is more accurate and reliable... if got budget... consider Aquatronica :D

bro you might need scaping again. dont look very stable to me. hire me!! i help you rescape :rolleyes:

Agree with bro W3... but you can still have plenty of opportunity to rescape along the way... may I suggest not having the LR touching the glass? Maybe allow around 1" to 1.5" for your magnet cleaner to pass through... :)
