Rich you will be the first to know. Will be nice to be able to test the water in all my tanks, copepod tanks and water change drum quickly and accurately.

Haven't heard from you in a while hows the tank going?

Tank reboot is complete. I am trying a hybrid triton method with water changes. You should stop by one day if you are in the area. Love to see what you think.

Definitely post your honest feedback on the product as I don’t want to waste time or money if it isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

Unless Hanna is prepared to pay me a healthy sum you will be getting an honest opinion.

Hanna if you are listening I am open to offers. I am not too proud I can be bought.

So, I went from BNIB to the first tank reading in about 10 minutes. By default it reads PPT / º C, changed those. Calibration was super easy, the test itself took about 10 seconds to stabilize for the final reading.

My tank should be at 78º F on the dot, Hanna reads 77.9º F.

Now for the goods:

Hanna HI98319 - 1.025 SG
Refractometer ("calibrated"), between 1.025-1.026 SG
Milwaukee MA887 - 1.027 SG

I will at this point trust the Hanna more than the other two, simply because it has a traceable reference solution to calibrate off of. Debating selling the Milwaukee or just keeping it for "dirty" tank use (like the QT tanks).

Happy with the purchase, the reagent box is like three times as big as the unit itself heh. Expiry on them is November 2023. I'll continue to see how things go, but I think they have a winner in this unit versus all the other "pens" coming onto the market.
