Brightwell Aquatics Refractometer Calibration Standard : desertcart.co.uk: Business, Industry & Science Review: Stay well away, reads wrong. Make your own solution instead - I bought this product as I was about to run out of the acurasea that I had previously been using and I couldn't get more of that brand, I was shocked when I put this on my refractometer and it read as 1.030. I had a feeling this wasn't right and after searching sone forums I found I wasn't the only person to have this issue. To be sure that it wasn't the old solution I did a few things to check, I tested the old solution to check it definitely read correct, I tested my tank to see what that read, I tested my tank with a hydrometer which although not perfect read as expected and I made my own solution to test. I then put all three of these into a hydrometer and that said the brightwell was also wrong compared to the others. All of these test showed me that the product infact reads wrong and doesn't calibrate a refractometer properly. I would stay well away from this product, it will make you think all of your equipment is faulty and doubt everything you use to test. My advice is to either get acurasea that I know to be accurate or do some googling and make your own solution. It will save you alot of confusion and work. Review: Badly inaccurate , do not buy - calibrated my hydrometer from distilled water to 0 and this read 1.030 compare to my tank reading of 0.025 and a home made sodium chloride reading of 0.025, I would stay well away, you will do damage with this product.

2 bottles from the same brand. two totally different readings
total garbage. I bought two and both read differently and I'm talking about 4-5ppt difference which is the difference between dead and live coral. Thanks for nothing. Total waste of time, money and energy

Does what it says.

Advertised as 35 PPT and it was spy on, verified against 4 refractometers and 3 electronic readers. Brighter ll is always as advertised, unlike a few competitors that can be all over the map
