I like the handheld ones!
Primo is the name brand I use (i think its a spinoff of hanna?), and usually buy 2 at a time so I have a backup. Reeflands sponsors sells them for 40bux for the handheld model and 50bux for the more bulky but reliable one. Hanna's are supposed to be pretty good from what I hear.

Agu over at ReefCentral suggested I get a TDS meter on ebay. he said they were about $23 and he had a Hanna. I have yet to check it out though.

Okay, I just went over to ebay and picked up a Hanna TDS meter for $18.95 plus $4.50 for shipping. Fairly easy . I don't have a clue how to use the darn thing but I am sure I will learn quickly. Go check it out. They had a few different brands both up for auction and for immediate buying.
