Long gone are the days of finicky refractometers that could have a deviation based on temperature or a slight bump to knock it out of calibration. the new hanna tester uses automatic temperate compensation and graphite leads to ensure accurate issue free testing.

Great comparison video Dev thanks for sharing
Nice touch at the end having it floating around 😎
hehe thank you :)
Looks accurate! After my Milwaukee dies, I might have to grab one. Great review. ✅
Great review 👍
I really liked knowing what video was coming out this time. Also great video and great info
Thanks Gabe! Hmm no idea what next weeks video topic will be yet though :P
@@ReefDudes what about what it goes into doing this UA-cam channel. From coming up with content to where you get your info from to maybe editing and the equipment you use for production. It's not really reef related but it could be cool to see a behind the scenes.
@@gabesreef If there is interest i would totally do one! I geek out on the gear and editing all the time so it be a fun behind the scenes!
@@ReefDudes solid reason to do a poll or reach out for other ideas.
@@gabesreef Done!
The blue cap is the key to open the battery door 😁
now you tell me! hahah makes perfect sense
Good info Billy, I also never thought of that. I was thinking Dev should be showing his house key in the video.
soooo i shouldnt use my daughters hair clips??
Just to make sure it is clear, you need to calibrate the Hanna with the calibration solution, not 35ppt water. The calibration solution is a conductivity solution, which is much more accurate for calibrating that type of device.
Tyler Jaax correct. It was calibrated it its calibration solution provided with the meter.
Nice video .... like the comparison. 👍
Thanks!
Well I know what I am getting now as a backup for my Milwaukee salinity tester.
Great video
Thanks!
I smashed the like button; love the Hanna Salinity Meter! Overall just way less work than using the refractormeter or the swing arm *gasp*
Yes sir! (i still cant believe you were using a swing arm all those years! ) hehe Massive upgrade!
Love when you remove the plastic wrap on the display of the Icecap :P :P, good video like always ;). I love the poseidon because it's so simple to use which make me test more often, i don't really care about digit after the 0 either, but yeah if they make another version would be great. The waterproof one from Hanna is a big deal. Take that like button.
I have dropped the sionix ones into the brute bin once(woops!) haha i just keep one in each room so there is always one handy!
i return poseidon ,,, twice ... after i calibrate the unit 15 minute later the reading is different ,,need to calibrate again .. and no i never touch the temperature calibration ... i dont trust my milwaukee . my pinpoint i think is accurate but slow to show the result .. i like the Hanna probably my next purchase .
Nice comparison - I love the precision of digital testers. The max cap looks quicker but the Hanna feels more reliable (albeit slightly irritating to have to calibrate so often). Hanna gets my vote 🙂
I love mine, I feel like the temp is useless though because it's only surface temp
little tip, the cap has a rounded edge to open the battery door :)
That’s why it’s there!!! Makes perfect sense now! Haha thanks! :)
Can I save the calibration solution in a close container and reuse it for next time? If I can how long I can keep reusing it?
Well great video but you missed the number one thing that I like about the ice cap salinity pen. Which is silly but handy I love how narrow it is at the end so that means whenever I want to calibrate it I just take my bottle of calibration solution and stick it right in there then pull it out put the cap back on and I'm done. The other salinity pens are too big to fit in the bottle. As long as I make sure there's no dirt debris or water on the pen when I calibrate and I make sure and put the lid back on Fast I'll never have to buy calibration fluid again. Lol
Solid point! You just need to make sure that cap is on tight or you could have some evap which will swing your calibration over time :)
Question? I have read that the hanna meter will not read your tank salinity accurately at all. Is this true Devin? Thanks
They all read accurately in my tanks. If you dose a ton of random stuff it may mess with the conductivity of the tank. So it’s hard to say 100% for every tank.
How often would you recommend calibrating the Hanna?
The instruction recommend monthly
I Love my hanna checker but just broke after owning about a year and a half! It wont calibrate and just keep getting error. I called hanna and followed their directions to clean with carboard pieces and also used their cleaning solotion and still wont work! Its ridiculous how much the solution to calibrate costs and can only get one maybe 2 uses out of it! It would be great if they sold it in a big jar but then they couldnt make so much money off of us consumers! I like that the Milwaukee sells much cheaper solution but it costs a lot more for the unit and I also like being able to just dip the tip of the hanna in the water in the water!
How do you find it compares to an Apex Salinity probe that has been properly calibrated (assuming you use one)? This is where I find the largest deviation in readings.
Much more precise. I have always found the apex salinity probe to be a bit flakey as it’s very susceptible to interference. I do have one but ignore the actual number and just is it as a trend line
@@ReefDudes Thanks... and that's also my experience. I no longer torture myself with the reading from the Apex probe and also just use it as a guide - which is helpful when traveling. Makes it easy to spot something going wonky.
Is the Hannah temp actually accurate, have 3 different probes in my tank and all off by a degree each, trying to figure out what one is right lol
I have a reef factory thermo control and the hanna salinity probe temperature shows the same temperature as the thermo controln by decimals
hi
nice compare , can you write where you bay 30ppt calibration solution, i have big problem to bay in Uk
Buy it from amazon
Would’ve been interesting to see them work in the tank
The Dash Cave I can do a follow up with that’s. I use them for it every water change :)
ReefDudes great job on the testing and it’s good to see the Hanna works well. I’ve seen mixed reviews based on measurements in the tank vs.freshly mixed. I was about to purchase it and saw that everyone was still using their refractometer to get baselines. Figured if they’re good enough for baselines, why play around with something so crucial as salinity.
After I calibrate my hanna it shows cal in the bottom left corner above battery bars isnt that supposed to go away or not be there?
Should show cal for a few seconds then it should calibrate. (As far as I recall)
How accurate is it compared to Milwaukee M887 or maybe other way round ....
I have never actually used the Milwaukee so can’t say for sure
My Janna checker is always off by 2 in every parameter would never spend money on this unit again a refractor is always spot in for me for salinity. Hanna is a great brand but this unit particular is always going off calibration.
Can you use distilled water to calibrate your hanna salinity tester ?
Nope the Hanna has spacial calibration solution
@@ReefDudes a lot of people in the hobby ive talked to say they use RODI water or distilled
@@jacksonsparrow8865 I have not heard of it but its worth a shot! ill try it next time i calibrate it :)
