What test kit do you use for your tank? I have been using the Hanna checkers and so far they have been great. What do you think about the Hanna checkers?

I have most of the collection of Hanna checkers and use them and like them. Additionally I recently picked up the Hanna Marine Monitor for my mixing station (it tests salinity, pH, and temp).

I have been happy with my Hanna checker. I might have to look into the Hanna marine monitor.

Besides using the trident I use Hanna for alk, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. I use Red Sea for calcium and as a second manual test for alkalinity.
I have quite a few Hanna checkers and the only one I don’t care for is the calcium one.

CALC-Salifert, found the Hanna CALC Checker to sway too much. ALK-Hanna Checker, Salinity-Hanna Checker but calibrate once a week. I found that over a two week period the Hanna Salinity Checker can drift downward as much as 4 tenths of a point. Going to invest in a Hanna Digital Refractometer. MAG-Aquaforest, found it to be very consistent.
