I'm looking to buy a TDS meter. What brand is most reliable? What's a reasonable price to pay for one? ------------- recent absurdity..Unicorns have rabies |

I've always bought the ones from BRS and never had one go bad. Not the cheapest, but they seem to be good ones. ------------- My ocean. 90g (yup, won it!), 40g, 28g, & 10g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63568&title=krazies-nano-paradise" rel="nofollow - Tank Thread: |

As infrequently as hobbyists actually need to use a TDS meter, there are plenty to choose from for less than $20 which are reliable for a decade. I found a Milwaukee brand TDS meter online for $15.95. Milwaukee is a very trusted brand that was in business way before our hobby started using purified water. I need to say something regarding stores that cater to our hobby. There are so many items that are significantly less money for the exact same basic item and/or even better quality when purchased from sources outside the hobby. I could list dozens of such items. Sorry, I don't mean to offend, but I've been at this hobby so long that I have become discriminating of the hobby stores. Don't get me wrong, I buy from hobby stores when the purchase makes sense.
