What are everyone thoughts on the Red Sea test kits?

They’re fine from my understanding but personally for phosphate and alkalinity I like to have the Hannah just for the numbers

For me they work pretty well but if you’re looking for a pretty accurate test I would go with Hana

I had the Red Sea kits when I first got started but I’ve also switched to the Hanna… way faster and more accurate. I’ve been buying my Hanna checkers used off eBay and saving a ton!

Thank you everyone for the input. I have hanna checkers but I need to get new reagents for all of them. Was just wondering if there was anything else as good

Red Sea kits do the job but Hanna def for precision

I dose the foundation check with Hanna checkers

Red Sea kits are chill for basics but Hanna’s defs next level for accuracy

The calcium and alkalinity tests are spot on, but the magnesium is way wrong, it reads way too high. Bottom line is as I switched completely away from Red Sea to Hannah, Aqua Forest and Salifert. I do double check phosphate with Red Sea, and Nyos,
