A hydrometer is a device that floats in a sample of your tank water, and its position in the water provides a reading of the water’s buoyancy. It is crucial to ensure that the hydrometer you purchase is designed to work within the specific gravity range of 1.2 to 1.3 or higher, as this ensures accurate and usable data. It is recommended to maintain specific gravity levels between 1.265 to 1.285 to promote optimal conditions in your tank. Regular monitoring with a reliable hydrometer helps ensure the proper buoyancy and overall health of the water environment.
