Funny I was just testing my Calcium a few minutes ago with a Hanna checker. It read 551. Fail haha! Last reading was 490 and I haven't done any water changes or added calcium.

IMO the power packet is dumb and a mess. Also adding droplets is way easier and very accurate compared to syringes. They did get the reader right however they have a long way to go on everything else.

I started with the PO4 and love it. Then got the Alk and love that one too. Then got the calc and despise it. It is in my opinion more of a pain than other standard (non digital) kits. I used the Hana calc checker once a year ago and it has been collecting dust ever since.

I would respectfully disagree. Just because your Alk is fine does not mean your Ca is fine (I assume you meant Ca when you said 'dal').
