Water testing???

[damontoy]

What is your preferred way of testing Calcium, kh and mag? I have 3 different testers and always get 3 different results. I have the hanna testers and today got 439 for calcium, red Sea reads around 530. Seems to bebe quite a difference. Please advise on what you think the most reliable method is.

Personally I like the Hanna checker for alkalinity there is no human visual error so even if it's off it's consistent

I'm a fan of salifert test kits..

I can run your water in my lab and see which of your test kits is most accurate.

the only test I really trust now is triton

Hanna for me although I've never been able to get my calcium to work

I use Red Sea tests, but I also use a Hanna if I think the tests are getting close to expiration which can affect results fairly dramatically.

You could try out Aqua Medic's All Water Testing, they are one of the club sponsors. See if there is a large degree of difference between your preferred test kits and the results from a lab. http://aquamedicwatertesting.com/

Support our sponsors whenever possible!

In fact, I welcome anyone to give me water samples from their best tanks. I would like to begin building a database of good water vs problem water.

Try www.aquamedicusa.com and then go to water testing? It eventually scrolls by on their home page...

I use Red Sea. I've been getting pretty consistent results over the last year or so.
