lewisriverfisherman Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'm thinking about getting a Hannah alk tester, pros or cons. Is it worth buying or should i just stick to test kits? What other testers do you all have that work well and not a waste of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I use mine daily. Seems very accurate and quick. Refill reagent runs $8 from BRS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk13p Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I feel Hannah is best for alk. Just remember to clean the couvetes with RODI water and have spare reagent on hand. I've used RS and Salifert in the past for alk and prefer the hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidK Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have been using all red sea test kits for the past few years and just picked up a hanna ALK checker during BRS's Black Friday sale. Works great and saves a ton of time if you check frequently. I read mixed reviews on the other checkers though. Some people say results are inconsistent and others say its user error.

Oregonic Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I love my alk checker use it every day or two, much faster and i get more consistent results then I did with red sea. Only test other parameters once a week or if I believe there is an issue so still using red sea kits for them and haven’t upgraded to hannahs.
