Digital Meters

[glarior]

I am in debate of buying digital water parameter meters. I have salifert and hagen test kits for all of the parameters right now but it takes least an hour to check all of the tanks. I have a hannah Ph meter and I like it. However, salifert Ph, Hagen Ph and the Hannah meter all read slightly different lol.

Any recomendations on which ones work well? Looking at Mg, Ca, Alkalinity and anything else I can make digital.

Do you test PH often?

I think the good ones are mg, ca, alk for sure, maybe even nitrate.. Hannah's are good, and when I have the funds I'm going to pick up a few of them.

Testing is for the birds. I want to stick in a probe and it tell me a value. Most of the time that is not feasible though. pH sensors are readily available for that.

Are you talking about testers like Hannah checkers or like probe with real-time readings?

[glarior]

Just checkers unless its really worth real time. Right now I'm checking values everyday to figure out a few things. After I get my data I'll check once a week to once a month.

I have the phosphate hanna checker and its cool... Just get a exact number rather than a color or having to match a number to a chart and unsure if you habe the right end color... Lol

i plan to try the calcium next

I've got the Ca, alk, and Po4 Hanna checkers. They're awesome. Just gotta make sure the sample tube is really clean when you insert it so you don't get a false reading. I'm colorblind and can't really pull off the color based tests. I use the Red Sea pro Mg test. It's a titration test not color wheel.

I've been using the Hanna ALK for awhile,simple math formula, no color charts to read
