What is going on with Hanna reagents?

One other thing to complain about... I just checked my nitrate and there is no way this result is correct. So now I need to test it again. The same thing happened last week too

Had similar problem with alk

Getting an aqua spin is sounding better and better

I agree. Nitrate is up for me but my Alk (the one I use the most by a huge margin) and ULP are both about the same.

Only reason I am really even testing nitrate right now is because I have a new DIY dosing mix. Once I am done with that it will be back to monthly or even less.

If the Alk test goes up, though, I am in trouble.

I hear ya on that lol. Pray to the reagent lords that alk won’t increase. What’s the shelf life of a unopened refrigerated bottle. Maybe we should stock up lol

I don’t use nitrate much either. Alk and phosphate are my main ones

I have been using API Nitrate reagent in my Hanna Nitrate HR for over a year. It gives a consistent reading and saves a ton of money. I add 10 ml of tank water, ten drops of reagent 1, and mix. Then, I run C1, add ten drops of reagent 2, mix for 2 minutes, run C2, and wait 7 minutes for results.

Have you compared the results with the hanna reagents? How accurate are the api drops in the hanna?
