Hanna checkers

[Tara McNeilly]

What Hanna checkers do you feel necessary to have .

I use alk and the low range phosphate checker.
I have the calcium one as well but don’t get used much

The Hanna checkers seem to be a mid point between the basic test kits and full automated testing. I have several Hanna checkers, including alk, phosphate, calcium, and pH, and look forward to getting the Nitrate checker soon. I sometimes struggle with color variations so I appreciate having a number.

Same here. This hobby became a lot easier for me when I stopped having to compare colored liquids to colors on a card.

The ones I feel necessary to have would be copper for my qt, Alk, and Hanna ultra low PO4. Been thinking about the new nitrate checker as well.

I have the Alk checker and find it very convenient to use. That is the only must-have Hanna checker in my opinion. Their calcium and phosphate checkers use powder reagents. I do not like working with powder reagents.

I use the Alk and LR Phosphate regularly. I also have the calcium checker but rarely use it. I also have the Hanna Checktemp Digital thermometer that I use constantly. I was interested in the nitrate checker until I saw it takes 8 minutes and requires a lot of steps.

 

[CelestEel]

Alkalinity, Calcium, Ammonia, Phosphate ULR.
I use the Alk checker the most.

 

[rwreef]

Alkalinity is the only must have imo.

 

[Doctorgori]

Alk, ULR Phosphate ... I’d skip the Ca,IMO its junk ... I want the nitrate, looking for feedback

 

[thedon986]

The nitrate has just been released. I would vote Phos ULR, Alk, Nitrate

 

[Shadows Reef]

Copper is important if you put your fish into QT

 

[andrewkg]

Salinity one is great

Check this out you may change your mind on the Nitrate checker

 

[Chlorinated]

That is beyond involved for a hobby grade test kit.....

Check this out you may change your mind on the Nitrate checker

I consistently use the Salinity and Alk meters. Both for my tank and mixing new saltwater. ULR Phosphorous is on my list.

 

[Steph1]

Look on the bright side mate, at least you will be able to proccess you own uranium at home after getting you head around this test kit

 

[Alaeriel]

I was terrified to dose Coppersafe until I had the Hanna checker since so many people said the dosing mix wasn't consistent. I'm just paranoid, but its definitely nice to have. I'd like the PO4 one next.

 

[shakygator]

Alk is great. Cal is not accurate or useful IMO. I have an old HI713 phosphate checker but have the new ULR HI774 coming to replace it.

I preordered the nitrate checker but cancelled after I saw the instructions.

 

[Steph1]

I have the Po4 ULR HI774 So easy and accurate
