Magnesium kit recommendation?

Miami Reef · Jul 9, 2023

Red Sea Magnesium Pro is not good. It reads too high for me, and apparently lots of others too.

Does anyone know of any accurate magnesium test kit?

TIA

I have been using the hanna and it has matched up with ICP test

How about calcium? What do you recommend? Accuracy is the goal.

Lot of test kits I've used and liked but using Hanna now. Quick, easy and as accurate as most hobbyist test kits.

Aquaforest for all of the big three. I like that it also includes a calibration test to get your eye in for titrations.

Do you do the Red Sea test properly?

A solution is 5 drops, 1 drop then shake for 15 seconds and repeat for the 5 drops. B is 5 drops and then shaking for 1minute or longer. Then slowly drip in the titration solution and shake after
Every drop until you get the color change
