The Hanna Marine Master- Tests high/low Nitrate-ph-Ca-Alk- Phjosphate and more. Its faster and simpler, and will monitor up to 9 tanks and create digital logs for each saving last 50 tests so there is no more writing anything down and gives you step by step on the screen - so no more cards to read

Hopefully you can test against your Salifert or lfs or ipc and let us know what you think.

Reef Breeders praised it and I know 2 who have this kit and said it is dead close to their ICP results. As of this morning, I tested and it was a hair off on Calcium versus Trident, and off by .003 on alk. It matched my digital PH tester on the dot and I havent done Phos as im headed to church.

This is good to hear as one of the things i hated about Hannah was lining up all the testers, cards, and stop watch. What a chore.

I ran all tests today and can say testing could not be easier and alk and CA matched Trident once again and alk was within .1 against salifert. Put the fun back into testing

Nothing beats a school of yellows for a natural reef look.

I love the naso tang. They're probably my favorite at the moment, I'd love one for my fowlr but I've heard issues with them dying suddenly as of late. Wonder how long it'll be until they're good again

Issue is mainly with the blonde nasos and mainly Sri Lanka caught specimens.

Thanks. Marine collectors looks promising, they have a med naso lituratus right now. I like the idea of buying from them despite the higher price, because you know they've been alive for 30+ days in captivity, healthy and eating. Once my tank is done with fallow (brook sucks :c) I want to look into getting one.

Marine Collectors is one of the best. Elliot will help you out great.
