Which are you looking at? I use Salinity (HI-98319), Phosphate (HI-774 ULR, PPM), and Alkalinity (HI-772).
I would like to have all the tests which are needed. Many different opinions out there so want get the correct tests from day one.. I like Hanna as they look like the most accurate
The big 5. If your cycling just get those cheap tetra strips. They will ballpark your cycle while you cycle. Then get the big guns.
yeah for the cycle I will use the cheap stuff.. So with the big 5 which models are the right ones for hanna as many different versions per model and im even more confused now
The rest really depends on what you want. Hanna High Range Nitrate is really easy to use and worth it for many reefers. Beyond that (and the ones listed above), i don’t see a lot of advantage for Hanna over some of the standard Hugh quality test kits. Some Hanna checkers (like Calcium) tend to over complicate things. I manually test Magnesium, Calcium, Nitrate (though I’ll eventually grab a Hanna checked for this), and Ammonia. I don’t test ammonia often at all (it’s an established tank), I never test nitrite, and I don’t run my own tests for copper or other elements. An occasional ICP test gives me an idea where I stand on the elements front.
