Weekends are for parameter testing 🧪

What test kits are you using? I’ve been using Red Sea for calc and mag but they’ve gotten really old and I’m looking for something a bit better.

Salifert for Alk, Calc, and Mag, Hannah for Nitrate and Phosphate

Thanks. I’m going to try out Salifert.

I use Hannah for alkalinity, phosphate, and nitrate. Then salifert for calcium and magnesium.

Awesome I will try Salifert for Calc and Mag. I do love the Hannah for Alkalinity!

Yeah me too! I test alk a ton with it. I was testing almost daily for a long time to dial in my all for reef, now I test alk every few days. I do wish the salifert magnesium went past 1500 as I run my mag at around 1500 so if I went over accidentally I wouldn’t know how much over I am.

Salifert is good but I do appreciate how Red Sea provides laminated instruction cards and consistent tools. Salifert sent paper instructions on a giant fold out. It is also nice to be able to reuse some vials and have them all match. Haven’t been able to justify the cost of Hanna yet.

Thanks this is good to consider!
