test kits

Got my checkers on point!!

I'm doing my nano mixed reef on a very tight budget. Tank: 18inch cube AIO Skimmer: Bubble Magus QQ Salt: Redsea Coral Pro WC: Weekly 15-20% Livestock: Fishes, inverts, anemones, softies, LPS, SPS(only Monti) My corals are doing great, but occasionally for some unknown reasons, some corals...

Hey Everyone! I wanted to get your take on test kits. I recently was fortunate to acquire a Mastertronic from BRS. I had a LFS help setup and calibrate the unit and it is using Red Sea pro solutions for Ca. It is currently reading at 561 and I think it is not quite calibrated correctly but...

Yesterday my nitrite was at zero while ammonia began to spike and now everything spiked even nitrates is this ok? what about phosphate is that ok?

Has anyone had any experience with the aquarium systems seatest test kits? any reviews/experiences? cant find anything on them, my LFS recommended them but im getting "odd" or just unexpected readings and dont know if i 100% trust them yet. Im using the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate test kits of...

So I just spent quite a bit on a 25 pack of 5-in-1 test strips. After having gotten home and using 2 already, I realized that the precision of the strips is sorely lacking, and that I could have gotten a 100 pack for a bit less than I paid for the 25 on Amazon. Of course, I had looked before I...

Hello I have these New test kits I don't need check pictures for expiration date All good Asking 40$ for all 3 Must buy all. Located in Anaheim

Phosphate ULR Hanna checker with 25 reagent Salifert Nitrate test kit with at least 45 tests left Salifert Mag, Alk, and Ca test kits in Red Seas enclosure All kits for $80 shipped Not separating. All pms asking to separate will be ignored.

I'm just getting started and wondering if there are any recommendations for water testing equipment? I was eyeballing the Seneye Reef Aquarium Monitor, but am seeing a lot of mixed reviews. Hanna has a lot of individual digital testers. Is there something like the seneye with better reliability...

Anyone have their LFS tell them that their Alkalinity and Magnesium are low and should be dosed but your own test kits are telling you otherwise? Both LFS and myself are using Salifert test kits and testing the same water sample. Alkalinity: LFS 7.85 Me 8.3 Magnesium: LFS 1290 Me 1500+

When the syringe reads 0.3ml on the Alk Test kit from Red Sea what is the value? I get confused when reading it backwards if anyone can help that would be great thanks a bunch. Maybe a photo with some pointers on it also to help others out if they need to learn to read it also.

How come I test calcium using API and get 390 and then when i tested calcium with Hanna Tester it says 550? I’ve read the manual a million times and watched videos on how to use the Hannah tester so I’m confident I’m using it correctly. Any help/ideas?

Hi R2R Community! My FIRST POLL! Some quick background: I’m a numbers and data guy so I love it when people post polls and give feedback. I can’t tell you how many purchases in this hobby because of that. This morning while testing nitrates I was having trouble finding the right color to match...

So I have been using a API nitrate test since I first started my tank, it has seemed pretty reliable but it has just run out so I thought id try the red sea pro test, bought the kit with phosphate aswell. The issue I'm having is that the API test was saying my nitrates are at 10 but I've just...

Hi everyone, I'm sure this has been answered numerous times but I can't find a comparison thread with these 2 specific tests. Hanna is out of my price range before you ask ;) I see that a lot of people get zero readings on their Salifert kits, hopefully that means their actual levels are close...

OK, so it's water test day... Wondering what you all make of these numbers (keep in mind we did all tests twice, just to be sure). My biggest issue is Alkalinity. We're going to retest today after we recalibrate our KH Director to see if it ends up closer to our Hanna tester. Which ones do we...

Question: If you own a Trident, do you still perform manual tests with the test kits that you used prior to acquiring a Trident, such as Salifert, Hanna, Red Sea, et al. Why do you, or do you not, perform manual tests? I tried searching for threads that involve discussions about whether Trident...

I’m moving soon and need to shut down my tank as we are building a house and will need to rent for a few months. Trying to sell everything locally only, so if you’re interested and in the Minneapolis, MN area, feel free to PM. I’m in Savage, MN for you locals. The tank is in great shape and...

So I just received my new reefbot. I am surprised to report that it cannot test 8 different things as one setup. I am able to test Alk. Calcium. Mag. And phosphates. So even though there are 8 vials in the machine some test kits require multiple reagents for a single test. I guess I will need...

Finally about to place my order for some decent test kits. I would use these along with the api test kit (ammonia, ph, nitrate, nitrite). Just wondering if this should be Enough for a tank with mostly lps/soft, looking to move into sps more soon.

I'm working on designing an organizer tray for my test kits. Tired of them in boxes. I plan to make them as modular blocks that can be joined together. So it can be customized to anyone's specific kits. Part of it will be a vial drying rack also. I have most Red Sea Pro kits...

I know...I have a problem. I was organizing my supply cabinet and realized I have clearly accumulated more test kits than should ever be necessary. BUT it has been helpful having everything I need at arms reach, and the ease of use of these kits has caused me to test consistently, which I’m...
