I would not rely on a hydrometer for maintaining hyposalinity. They are just not accurate enough. A refractometer is a good investment and one can be had for around $35 if you look around on the net.

I have never seen a pH test kit that does not rely on color matching. I use a ReefFanatic pH monitor and the pH probe on an AquaController to check pH. I used to have a Milwaukee pH pen tester, but had a lot of trouble calibrating it and finally tossed it.

I m living in the UAE and it is realy hard for me to find what I look for, all the fish stores only do care about selling fishes but not keeping them in good health.
do u have any wib site I can order throw it?

A refractometer is used in several different industries. For instance, they are used to control the concentration of honey. They are also extensively used in the medical industry for measuring proteins.

However, if you still can't find one inside your country that shows a scale for saltwater and salinity, then you may wish to try and order one from an online source that will sell overseas. You might also find a source out of Europe that will ship to you. You need to search the Internet for what you want and specify in the search the country(ies) you want to come out in the search.

Reefland.com sponsors may ship to UAE. I think that the Marine Depot ships to UAE: Aquarium supplies for your tropical fish tank, saltwater fish tank, saltwater aquarium fish, freshwater aquarium fish & reef aquarium. Aquarium filters, aquarium lighting, aquarium tanks, protein skimmers & more for your reef tank.
