Who here uses hanna dkh checkers? Im having some weird issues with mine and have crossed checked it with two other test kits (red sea) and i think nyos. Took water sample to LFS and both tests came out with a dkh of about 9 where as when i run a sample though the hanna that same sample come out at 6.8. (Reagients exp in 2020)
Just ran another test yesterday, with a brand new unit on both the ato, and a new batch of tropicmarin salt mix. The ato came out at 10, which makes sense because i add BRS soda ash to the top off water. My fresh batch of salt mix came out at 7.1 specks for this particular salt should be around 8.0. I then went to check the tank water again, and it is at 6.8 and all corals look healthy, im thinking it has somthing to do with the hanna checker its self but after purchasing a new unit, and getting basically the same 6.8 crom both the new and older model of hanna checkers, im not sure where to turn.
Has anyone ever had this issue before?
Prior to this issue, ive been using the hanna dkh checker for the last year and a half and have zero issues up to this point.
Ideas?..
