Not trying to start a huge testing discussion but I’m about to run out of some tests and wondering if anyone feels strongly about any of them? I’m currently Milwaukee - Salinity, Hannah - NO3, Phos PPB, Salifert - everything else. Thinking about picking up Hannah alk test and restocking salifert cal and mag.

I don’t know I’ll probably end up with an Apex setup sometime but not for a 14g.

Hanna alk is convenient but Salifert is as good, just more work.

I picked all the Hannah when I was first starting out. With Salifert for Mag and Alk. The Salifert is definitely less complicated and in the case of the two I got work really well. Salifert is much more budget friendly as well.

Salifert for phos wasn’t working for me mainly. Everything looked like 0 until I got Hannah. Other salifert tests seem good but I don’t have much to compare to yet. May just stick with what I have then thanks.

Hanna
Phosphate ulr
Alk
Nitrate HR

That's all I use of hanna
The same 3 I have. Salifert for Alk, Mag, and Calcium. Have phosphate Salifert but it's too hard to tell.

With the Hannah’s, it seems like one test is a real pain but if you are doing multiple, I just shake them all at the same time so I don’t mind as much. Still a long process and hope I don’t spill the reagent.

It's not bad when you don't have to test all the time. The amount of acros I have warrants testing all the time to dial in. As soon as I have everything dialed in and can back off for a couple weeks...Shane has a sale and I add 30 more...lol.

Haha yeah. I’m testing a lot right now trying to make sure everything is stable and understand my system still. 2-3 times a week usually. I’m sure I’ll slow down a bit once I get more comfortable.
