WTB Hanna Checkers
 

hey guys im looking to buy some hanna checkers to ease the life of water param testing lol. Im looking for the main ones. Ca,Alk,Mag, and phosphate.

Thanks!

They don't make one for magnesium

I only use the Hanna checker for Phosphate testing, to get the desired accuracy (about every 2 or 3 weeks). I use API for Ca, KH and nitrates, not as accurate, but good enough for what I require. And I use Salifert for Mg.

Hanna checkers are expensive along with the required regents. Plus it is not as quick as a color test (like the API ones). I test my Ca and KH every few days (in case I need to adjust my dosers). I only test my Mg just before a water change, so I know how much Mg I need to mix up. I only test nitrates about once a month (always zero, with my bio pellet reactor running).

I have a Hanna Phosphate Tester. Tester works, viles are there, but for some reason I cannot find the cap for the viles, but I don't think thats a big deal. You'll need to buy the replacement reagents too. See how it works on the video here:

Sells for $55+ tax, you can have it for $20. Shoot me a text or email.

Thx Kelly, but I think I'm going to need the cap lol. I'm going to need to come by for some cal and alk from you soon tho and oh maybe some beautiful frags =)

I just picked up a phosphate checker @ big als in Edmonton

$60.00

Also have a brand new one, only opened to look at the contents with 25 extra reagents: will sell it for $60 if you're interested.

Hey good deal with the 25 extra regents for $60.
In my opinion I would just use a Hanna checker for Phosphate testing and use Salifert for the rest of your testing.

Thanks guys I found some =).
