Which Refractometer

[shoreliner11]

One of my clowns is showing signs of ich. The other clown and yellow watchman goby seem to be fine but I know they most likely are carrying it as well. I do not have a hospital tank at the moment but I am going to set one up this week. I know I need to do hypo for them in the new hospital tank, but I don't have a refractometer. Is there anyone you would suggest? Are the cheaper refractometers ($45 on ----) ok or do I have to spend close to $100 to get one that will read accurately. I am on a budget...so that is a factor as well. Thanks.

The ---- refract should be fine.
What type of tank do you have? If it is strictly FO, with no inverts or LR, then you can do hypo in your display.

My tank is a reef tank with a couple inverts which is why I need a hospital tank. Thanks a bunch.

Oh, another question for you...it is going to be really tough to get the yellow watchman out. If he get scared he just swims into the rocks. Without taking apart my whole tank...any suggestions. Thanks.
