Hanna nitrate checker!

0-50 it’s on hannas website I was praying so much that way it would be for everyone

Are you deleting your pics or is it a mod doing it?

I think what you are linking is the freshwater stuff anyways

Does it read correctly with the Hanna standard solutions?

Hanna’s are fantastic but they do fall out of calibration over time, I like checking against standards before I test to check the accuracy.

They are like $13
Replaced my phosphate ULR last week actually cause it was reading the standard correctly.

I didn’t get the standard solution but probably should have. I did buy this used!

Get it man, I call it insurance. Lol

I'm trying to get any sort of nitrate reading with a salifert test kit, but haven't yet with increased feeding and decreased protein skimmer time. How can you raise nitrates to 20-30 ppm and still keep phosphates low and without algae breakouts?

Dose KNO3

Dose KNO3

I've been trying NeoNitro from Brightwell aquatics for the last two weeks and still no nitrates. Any other product you'd recommend?

I just use stump remover from Amazon and create a strong solution and dose accordingly.

I use it without problems. It came with the special pipette and I use their bottle of water.

 

[SeeFu]

it took me a wek of using neo nitro before i got anything detectable

0-20 could still be concerned ultra low in some tanks lol.

tested mine yesterday and they have been running close to 40 ppm. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve noticed explosive growth in the past week of almost all my corals I would have panicked.

 

[hllb]

It is listed as 'low range', rather than 'ultra low range'. I would think 0-5 would be ULR so LR could be better than that. Or maybe most would think 0-2 as ULR.

Use this dosing calculator and not just guess.

Obviously don’t guess.

Or make your own solution and do some math, more fun that way. C1V1=C2V2

Did you mean incorrectly?

 

[saltyhog]

As far as I know, the NO3 test is highly affected by salinity. So it may not be possible to dilute the sample to get it within range and have the correct reading. But again, I might be wrong, I am not a chemist. Maybe Randy can comment on this...

Could you not dilute with zero NO3 freshly made salt water?

 

[Shadows Reef]

Did you mean incorrectly?

lol yeah you know how auto correct is

 

[Letterkenny]

Any updates?

 

[itgoeson]

Hanna says no news yet.

My Nitrate Checker (HI781) is on order and expecting it within the next couple of weeks. In the mean time I found a copy of the instructions online and, wow, it's a somewhat complicated process - even more so than the Calcium checker.
