This was well timed! I was about to order another brand but this confirmed my 1st choice of the Hanna Calcium Checker. Please consider creating videos for the other Hanna Checkers as well and list links to them in the caption above.
Hey Tim! Glad you were able to stumble across the Calcium Checker in time! It's a great instrument. Per your great idea, you will find some links up in the description of this video. Happy testing!
Hi Kevin , Matt from Reef-A-Palooza | Orlando, many thanks for getting my Hanna Ph meter out to me. Also, super job on the video and will be looking for your next one to come out.. All the very best!
Love the test kit. All these steps are critical if you miss just one you get significantly different readings. I clean the vial before c1 & between c1 and c2. The only issue I have is with the unit turning off while prepping for c2.
Hey Chris. Glad you love the kit! These Checkers® are relying on a chemical reaction to get very accurate readings. These reactions are time sensitive. Another tip we have found helpful is before testing, have all your reagents ready to go, the packet cut open and folded, and the liquid reagent ready. Hopefully this helps!
OMG, seems like you have to be so precise in measuring - this will drive me crazy,
I am getting consistently high calcium readings on Hanna checker, significantly high, compared to Red Sea and API. When added the powder the water sample to test then almost always is dark blue. What’s the problem? Thanks for feedback.
Hi ATF. Here are some troubleshooting tips for the Calcium Checker. Hope this helps! You can also find more information about the Checker® at hannainst.com
Calcium Checker Troubleshooting Tips:
Never rinse your cuvettes with tap water or saltwater
Use pure vapor distilled water from your local pharmacy at C1 phase. RODI water from home filtration units may not be suitable for this test as calcium can easily permeate through your filter membranes.
Clean your cuvettes with distilled or deionized water absent of Calcium that is going to be used for C1 phase dilution.
Measure out 9 ml of distilled or deionized water for C1 phase
Make sure no excess aquarium sample saltwater is on the tip of the pipette. Only administer the saltwater that is sucked into the pipette tip.
Thanks for the great video I wasn't following a few of the best practices.
Great video! Can you also do one for Alk and Phosphate (or any other saltwater testers you have) so we can make sure that we're doing the tests correct? I've been using these Hanna checkers for years and learned a few new tips just from watching this video!
Hey Rory! Get ready. Alk. on the way.
This is the most inaccurate checker they have.
Could you do us all a favour please? Could you redo the video with just the test steps, and not all the infill of the ins and outs of a ducks bum in-between each step. We don't need the info on the importance of calcium etc etc , we already have a calcium checker, therefore we know why....we have clicked the video link to see the steps on how to use it. thanks :)
