Thank you for your replys.I used to do the drip method until someone(lfs) told it stressed the fish to much.however I shall get back into that practice.
I use a coralife deep six to check specific gravity ,which you must fully submerge.what should I use for smaller samples such as bags fish come in when purchased?

I use the deep six also, and I just suck some water out of the bag with a turkey baster and fill up the hydrometer with that.

Your other option is to get a refractomerter. They are usually more accurate anyway. It only requires a few drops of water.

I have two deep six hydrometers and when I bought my refractometer I noticed they were both off. One was off by .003 and the other by .004 Which means when I thought my water was at 1.023 it was really at 1.026 on one Hydrometer and 1.027 on the other . Get a Refractometer it's well worth the $50 dollars.
