Refractometer?

[ramon6249]

I'm guessing this is one of those items that is not NEEDED...but very usefull...so of course im going to spend the rest of whats left of my paycheck on one =)
Anywyas I was looking areound and found all types of them...some say they are for antifreeze...others say honey...
some are 0-10% others are 0-32%...but they all look the same?
I did find the Brix.....the questions is what do I "need" for my SW tank?
Thanx
Ramon
