Hello all. I just purchased an innovative sr-60. Thanks to the awesome community in Maryland have received some great advice and supplies to build my reef tank.

does anyone have Hannah devices looking to sell?

I agree, Hanna checkers are great. I have Alk, PH, Calc, Nitrate & Phosphate. Would be lost without them. BRS and Amazon sell them if you can't find used ones.
 
Welcome!

I use Hanna for dKH and phos. I bought a pocket Icecap salinity checker and a similar pH checker. If you’re using a monitoring system/controller that’s obviously completely unnecessary. I use salifert kits for calcium and magnesium.

One note on the hanna checkers I learned the hard way. Once you open the liquid reagents they’re only good for 30 days. I was using expired reagents, wondering why my alkalinity was always low. I even started dosing sodium bicarbonate to raise it only to read a thread about the 30 day thing. I still like Hanna but for already expensive checkers this seems like a money making thing and was super frustrating. Granted, I caught it in time so had no I’ll effects but figured I would share to hopefully spare somebody else.
 
Welcome! The most generally useful hanna testers are probably the ULR phosphate checker and the high range nitrate tester if not keeping stony corals yet. If you are their alk checker is also great. Mixed reviews on their calcium tester

There are a few for sale in The R2R Marketplace.
