I am starting to get into sps and need to get some tests for phosphates, Calc and mag. Was looking into some tests and want to get some opinions on Hannah Checkers and/or other test brands. Anyone have some thoughts on if I should go with the Hannah's?

Thanks!

I like Alk (HI772/HI775)and low range phosphorus (HI736). I don't have the calcium checker but lots of reviews give it a poor rating. I also like Salifert (Alk, Ca, Mg, NO3)

I went with the Milwaukee MW12 phosphate checker. Mainly because I found a great deal on an Amazon warehouse for half the normal price.

I run Hanna checkers for Alk, Phosphate, & phosphorus. All other tests are Nyos brand. I really like their Cal, nitrate, and Mag.

I use Hanna ULR for phosphate, and use Red Sea with salifert as a check to help determine if I don't believe the Red Sea. I recommend two different tests if one seems to be not as expected.
