Anyone one here use Hanna tester for cal?

[richiero]

And if so how do you like it compared to salifert?

 

[Scorpius]

The new one is supposedly more accurate, but my Salifert works just fine and has repeatable results for me over the past couple years. I trust my eyes with color changes over an electronic eye.

Just got one and really like it. Gives exact same as salifert. Easy to use.

Much easier & quick results

I'm considering the Ca checker as well. Unlike @Scorpius, my old eyes don't do well discerning shades of color. Are they say As involved as the ulr Po4 tester ? (which is nothing more than a time window )
I haven't checked out any videos on the operation yet.

How many reagents does the Cal checker have?

Just watched a video. No Thanks , too many steps ! I'll stick with my Red Sea kit .

The Hanna Checker works quite well for me, now that I “figured it out.” The trick for me on a used unit was figuring out the stops on the 0.1 ml pipette.

If interested here are the details of what I learned:

I note this is the only Calcium test I have used, but it was in line with an ATI ICP-OES test I had done.
