spectra Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well getting back into it and was not one to test a lot of things in years past So what is the general idea for test kits? Should I just get a bunch of Hannah stuff or ? Not even sure I want to deal with it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexinverts Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I like Hanna checkers for alkalinity and phosphate, Salifert kits for Ca, and Alkalinity, Red Sea for Mg and Nitrate. If you are just going to pick one brand of kit and get all of them, go with Salifert. If you have an Iphone, I recommend the "Reef Tank Pro" App to keep track of it all and plot graphs over time. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Make sure to pick up a cheap API test kit that includes Calcium and Alkalinity. I like using those for testing my newly mixed batches to ensure parameters are in the right ballpark. I personally use Hanna for Alk/Phos and use Red Sea Alk/Calc/Mg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
