Product Description
Tropic Marin High-Precision Hydrometer
The Tropic Marin High-Precision Hydrometer is a precise floating glass hydrometer for measuring specific gravity in saltwater and reef aquariums. Handmade from mouth-blown glass and calibrated for use at 25°C / 77°F, it provides a reliable non-digital salinity reference for reef keepers who want to confirm aquarium salinity, check newly mixed saltwater, or compare readings from electronic salinity meters and refractometers.
Tropic Marin High-Precision Hydrometer for Reef Salinity
Stable salinity is critical for marine fish, corals, and invertebrates. This high-precision hydrometer gives reef keepers a simple, calibration-free way to measure specific gravity with fine resolution. It is especially useful as a dependable reference tool when checking water-change batches or verifying other salinity measuring devices.
Mouth-Blown Glass Hydrometer Measurement Features
- Designed for determining specific gravity in saltwater aquariums.
- Handmade mouth-blown glass construction for precise floating measurement.
- Does not require recalibration like many electronic salinity tools.
- Fine 0.0001 resolution helps reef keepers read small salinity differences.
- Blue scale highlights the recommended marine aquarium range.
- Useful for checking aquarium water, freshly mixed saltwater, and other salinity measuring equipment.
- Best used in a suitable tall measuring cylinder so the hydrometer can float freely without touching the sides or bottom.

Tropic Marin Hydrometer Use Directions
- Use a clean measuring cylinder or tall test vessel that allows the hydrometer to float freely.
- Fill the vessel with aquarium water or freshly mixed saltwater at approximately 25°C / 77°F for the most accurate reading.
- Place the hydrometer gently into the sample and make sure it is not touching the side or bottom of the vessel.
- Allow the hydrometer to settle vertically and wait for bubbles to clear from the glass.
- Read the value at the water surface on the blue part of the scale rather than at the meniscus.
- Rinse the hydrometer with fresh water after use and allow it to dry before storage.
- Handle carefully because the hydrometer is made from precision glass.
