[QUOTE=350gt;900893]btw if that slow..... dont try any of the other kits... lol

hey chris I believe bought the hanna checker for phosphates.... I wonder how its working out... I read mixed reviews online but mainly about the calcium...


Bro your single... how much precious time can checking you parameters really take? lol[/QUOTE lol..well ill try it agin to day...]

I didn't even know about this test kit until Tuan came over and checked my stuff within three minutes or so. By far the best test kit I've ever been exposed to. Rapidly determining Calcium and Magnesium... in just moments.

The only time I've seen the parameters measured quicker... was when Tuan did it. He's been doing it for awhile, but just like he said, if you have a rough idea of where you're going to be you just squirt until you're almost there, then drop by drop. And since you're not counting drops, its pretty much squeeze, shake, squeez, shake, color changes and then do the math.

Lol that's too hard for ol kang!

I also use the red sea kit. It's pretty quick, except for the mag test, I hate that one. It only takes a few minutes to do them all together, but the brunt of the time is spent on that dang mag test.

Tony I have the hanna phosphate checker too, it works well. Once you get that method down it's pretty quick as well. It's the hanna calcium checker they say is hit or miss, I think because you have to use RO water for it.

Wow..lmbo...i must b blond wen it come to this kit..every one loves it..lol

[350gt]

Nope you are far from a blonde..

[Andresm]

it took me a while to get it

[glarior]

mg - salifert
ca/kh - nutrafin

The ca and kh are simple tritration test.
For mg I tried ELOS but it was a pain. The salifert was worth the money IMO.

Don't feel bad King. I liked and hated it. I always have issues matching colors. The Red Sea kits are good quality, but staring through a vial of colored water while looking at a color chart doesn't make me all warm and fuzzy inside. The nitrate and phosphate tests are like that.
