Mr. Saltwater Tank’s Recommendation for the Best Test Kit on the Market

Get the Best Test Kit on the Market

Testing your tank’s water parameters…saying the words instantly brings up painful thoughts. Between counting drops, trying to read color cards and watching for insanely subtle color changes, the whole process is a pain in the butt.

I found a simple way around these headaches – the Hanna Instruments Checker:

1
  • They do hard work for you – at the end of the test you get an easy to read number on a screen
  • They are extremely accurate – down to +/- .04 parts per billion on some tests so you can be sure of your test results
  • You never have to count drops…simply add in a reagent and run the test (you can do that right?)
  • They are reuseable which saves you money (use up the reagents and order more instead of ordering a whole new expensive test kit)

And the really good news? It’s less than $50.
