Forgiveness as I have been out of the hobby for a decade plus. Just got my tank started over the weekend and began cycling with turbo start. I just took my first ammonia test via Hannah checker and it reads “2.50” I’m used to old ppm reading from simpler drop tests back in the day.. am I missing...
Selling things I just don't need; all just a few months old and in very good condition:

I bought this in March 2025, and it works fine-- I just have a crowded sump, and for now seem to have...

I am going crazy! I’m losing fish, I suspect ammonia, but I can’t 100% confirm it.
I started up a brand new tank that I wanted to use as observation post-quarantine for fish I was treating in copper. It’s a 55 gallon tank that I used brand new saltwater and cycled with ammonia chloride and...

I goofed and ordered two ammonia reagent test kits instead of just one. My tank is pretty much cycled now so I don't think I will be able to use 2 of these up before they expire. For what they cost it isn't really worth the hassle of returning it.
I don't know if it is common practice here...
I have an HI700 Hanna LR ammonia test kit, when I put the reagents in, the sample turns cloudy/milky (like a body fluid...). There's no discernible color like yellow.
I've run the test 3 times, each time I get the blinking 3.00 (out of range result).
To make sure I'm not crazy, I had my wife...
Maybe I was the only one who was left in the dark, but some German sites show:
HI783 Hanna Marine Magnesium Checker
HI784 Hanna Marine Ammonia Checker
I'm so glad I won't have to do any more titration tests. Anyone else is very keen to try out the new magnesium checker?
The Magnesium one is...
