Salifert. Very easy titration method.

Thanks. That's where I was leaning but wanted others opinions.

I really like the Hanna HI772

I second salifert. If you can, get an AutoAqua Smart Stir to make your life easy. Worth every penny.

I've never heard of this. I'll do more research, thank you.

when you use the smart stir you cut down the time by two thirds.

Thank you. I'm on the fence with Hanna. I like their po4 checkers but the others I've tried seem like more work than their worth. I haven't tried the alk though to be fair.

My guy, prepare to make titration testing quick and easy!

The alk is the fastest, least involved one, you can do it in less than minute.

Hanna and Salifert are both easy to use.

I use both the hanna and salifert (with smart stir). I prefer the salifert with the smart stir.

 

[JCM]

Well guess I'm buying a smart stir, appreciate the recommendations. I had no idea that was even a thing.

Hanna is what I like. I use test kits for other perams but all is quickest with hanna. And always accurate

That's good to know. I dont doubt their quality but some are a hassle in my opinion.

I use Salifert to check my Hanna which is always off by more than .7
Hanna Alk reagents are all over the place.
I can stir, it's not that hard to do.

Check it with an ICP test. Then you'll see how accurate it really is.

Salifert with magnetic stirrer all the way (until I have an autotester). Can do a test just walking by without any effort, and it's only like 6-7 cents per test

no one like red sea pro? I have both salifert and red sea but i just use the red sea one because i get the same results and there is only one fluid involved instead of 2 with the salifert

 

[dedragon]

red sea is also a titration test
