Anyone no why Hanna doesn't make a magnesium tester for reef aquariums? I no they make one but I have never seen anyone using it on there reef tank. I hate the other mag test kits. Thanks

I believe I have seen that tester on the hanna website but the specs say thr range is only up to 20 ppmAnyone no why Hanna doesn't make a magnesium tester for reef aquariums? I no they make one but I have never seen anyone using it on there reef tank. I hate the other mag test kits. Thanks
Hey, dumb question but I saw magnesium hardness test with Hanna but I wasn't sure if it was the same thing as just magnesium readings.Anyone no why Hanna doesn't make a magnesium tester for reef aquariums?

I think that was for freshwater.Hey, dumb question but I saw magnesium hardness test with Hanna but I wasn't sure if it was the same thing as just magnesium readings.
If you ended up getting it at all please let me know how it worked for you. Thanks
I've seen a magnesium hardness tester for freshwater (black) and a manganese tester (red). Is that what you were thinking of?Anyone no why Hanna doesn't make a magnesium tester for reef aquariums?

It is something we are looking into however the there are quite a few challenges in creating a digital test kit for MG in the existing Checker platform.Robert Ranciato said:

I'll give hannah 1000$ no strings attatched if they switch from powders to droppers for everything. The nitrate reagent is so clingy I can't imagine it doesn't introduce at least a +/- 5% innaccuracy.Maybe I'm wrong but I love ph tester with the dropper.Hanna checker madness
No matter what y'all think this is, it isn't rocket science. It's a tester that's going to give you a reasonable proximity of the values in your tank. It's not precise, its close. Precise equipment would cost hundreds of $'s. It's hobby grade equipment that's susceptible to flaws. Y'all drink...www.reef2reef.com

I can affirm making sure every ounce of powder leaves the packet is a pain and begs for inconsistencyI'll give hannah 1000$ no strings attatched if they switch from powders to droppers for everything.

For the phosphate Checker, the amount of chemical in each packet is not identical.I can affirm making sure every ounce of powder leaves the packet is a pain and begs for inconsistency
It actually doesn't.I can affirm making sure every ounce of powder leaves the packet is a pain and begs for inconsistency
For the phosphate Checker, the amount of chemical in each packet is not identical.
I did an experiment where I purposely under and over charged the powder by 5% and obtained PO4 measurements within the promised accuracy. I assume it is the same with all Hanna Checker reagents.
For the Hanna low range nitrate vogorous and consistent shaking of the sample with reagent B, the grey one, is critically important for consistency.
thank you both …appreciate the piece of mindIt actually doesn't.
There is more reagent than is required for the reaction to complete.
I think you would find that even if 10 percent of the reagent remained in the sachet, the result would still be within specification.
