We like to help explain the differences between the different methods of adding calcium and alkalinity in the USA and Europe. The other thing we like to help people with is the understanding of why we in an ULNS like Zeovvit use the Hans Balling Method with Tropic Marin Balling salts. Enjoy the video.

Making sure you calibrate your Hanna Checker Testers

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Mr. ReefDVMs

We do like accurate test results and one way to make sure your Hanna tests are properly working is to use a calibrating test solution in them to see if they are working correctly. Now there are down sides to a few of these tests and not to mention if the Hanna tester is off you might need to contact the company but knowing they are working is still the first step.
