hi all again i have just bought a hagen marina Aqua minder thermometer for my tank just one question the part that goes in the water is metal or the bottom of it is anyway . is this safe for a reef tank , i didnt want one of those things you stick on the outside of the glass i wanted somthing inside


also my last buy will be a hydrometer , i have heard that these are not too accurate is it better to get a refractometer and are they easy enough to use

just need my live rock now and im away

thanks all

Refractometers are as simple as you can get, you put some water over the plate at the end and look through it.
Hydrometers are rubbish, my friends was 3 points out compaired to my ref.
