Anyone know when the Hanna nitrate test kits are coming out?

I have not seen a release date myself. I would go to their site and you can put your email in to be notified when they are available.

Anyone know what range it will test?

Marty's Reef · Aug 19, 2020

Unfortunately on www.Saltwateraquarium.com website it says Range?
My guess is that info will be released right before they are ready to ship. So probably within the next month

The range is 0-5ppm, the directions were leaked. Lots of steps, not worth it imo.

In Europe can pre-order it (few weeks delivery). Range 0-5 & accuracy 0,25.
not very helpfull

It is still pre-order here in the UK but I have held off as it looks like there are a lot of steps to test. I was waiting for some further feedback to see how people are finding it. I still may purchase it as I only test weekly so if it takes a while to do the test, it is not the end of the world if it is accurate. I am just tired of trying to work out the colour of my Salifert kit. I dont know if my Nitrates are 5ppm or 50ppm!!!!

My nitrates went to 50 ppm and I decided to dose vinegar. I wanted to monitor the nitrate level often but did not look forwards to the diluting, mixing and waiting. So, I bought the Hanna freshwater nitrate test kit and read the color intensity with the phosphate Checker. I had to make a calibration curve but that’s easy. One envelope of chemical, 1 minute shake, 4 minute wait, and pop it into the Checker. I have not determined how low a reading is possible, though 10 ppm is definitely detectable. When I have time I will take a closer look at precision and limit of detection. Cost per test will definitely be reasonable.
