Test Kit

So, I finally broke down and bought some Hanna Checkers, I've been in and out of the hobby since the late 80s and have always relied on titration tests but with my latest system I have not been able to nail down my parameters, I tested one number and my LFS with my own test kit tested a wildly different number. I know these test kits vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer and from user to user but my own back to back tests were all over the place. I know Hanna tests have variations but for me and my old ass eyes it's much easier to read a digital number display than try to distinguish between shades of pink, blue and green.

Just wanted to share this to save you guys some money, these are the same exact replacement cuvettes for your Hanna checkers only difference is they don’t come with caps but you can use the ones that come with the old cuvettes, just remember to save them! Copy this link 👇🏽

Added the AutoAqua stirrer, the Hanna and Salifert organizers+dry rack. Complete game changer on test day. No more toting everything around a little at a time, digging for reagents, and just minimized overall clutter. The stirrer makes Salifert extremely simple to determine color changes. No more rubbing my head and patting my belly wondering if those 3 extra drops were too many. Much more controlled titration. Consistency in Hanna has improved as well. No more shaking the vials wondering if it’s completely mixed. Has shaved probably 15-20 minutes off testing days. Mostly hands free, organized, and made parameter testing much more relaxing. 10/10 would buy again 🤌

What are everyone thoughts on the Red Sea test kits?

Little high on calcium but I think the Hanna is off some

This fancy little doohickey is honestly one of my favorite fishy accessories. It was about $20 but I can’t tell you how many test tube spills it has saved me from! Plus’s there are holes in the bottom so you can flip your clean tubes upside down to dry and it pops right on top of the API saltwater testing kit box. No regrets! 😍 https://www.aquameta.ca/products/api-master-test-kit-tube-holder-and-drying-rack
