alk test kits

[Joe0813]

Just wondering what everyone was using for Alk test kits. I was using a Hanna but the piece of crap was giving me a reading of 8.0 - 8.8 so I was dosing and ended up around 14 with it still saying 8.2. So then I bought a Seachem test kit, the thing was confusing and I didn't like it. so for the time being I bought a plain ole API. just wondering what everyone else uses and likes

I've used the RedSea for a long time, & I can say the new improved alkalinity Pro is very accurate.

Perhaps the reagent is expired? I use Hannah and if I get weird results Ill confirm with Red Sea.

I've been using API forever. I got a Hanna last year and checked it with a friends. Running tests with thier 6 month old and my new reagents on both testers and the same sample of tank water we got 4 different numbers that varied by .9 dKH from lowest to highest. While arguably it might be more accurate than API I find API much easier to use, cheaper and more than adequite as the dKH scale is more precise than the meq/l scale I see used by scientists studying reefs.

I tried new reagent and a new battery. I bought a salifert test kit last night off brs
