I started with red sea and switched due to complexity of the kits. The results were fine and I didn't have problems per se with the method, I just wanted to try something different and gave salifert a shot for Ca and Mg, haven't looked backyou will get many opinion here:
Hanna: Alk checker ( dkh) Phosphate ULR, Nitrate HR
Salifert Any ( I use their Ca)
Red Sea test are good but can be complex…IMO
I absolutely hate the Red Sea Magnesium test. I now use the Hanna and although I don’t think it’s all that reliable it’s still worth it not to have to use the Red Sea test.I started with red sea and switched due to complexity of the kits.

It's super easy. Nearly identical to Ca, but with a liquid Part A administered with 5 drops instead of granularI absolutely hate the Red Sea Magnesium test. I now use the Hanna and although I don’t think it’s all that reliable it’s still worth it not to have to use the Red Sea test.
I may look into adding salifert as a backup if it’s easier than the awful Red Sea test.
