PPT or Specific Gravity??

[Luckyduck]

I have always used a hydrometer. I just recently bought a refractometer. Is it better/easier to look at the PPT side or the Specific Gravity side of your refractometer? What do my fellow reefers do? Even if you use a hydrometer go ahead and take the poll!

I use PPT personally, I feel it’s easier for me to count by ones when I’m reading the little lines and I feel like it is easier for me to be more exact with it.

I convert to SG but hanna tester also set to SG.

I use SG mainly because I target 1.026 and I calibrate my refractometer to use that value

Is 35 PPT = to 1.026?

35ppt = 1.0264
