Fell apart after 3 uses By Nathan on 8/3/12
Nathan wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
Don't get me wrong, this thing is easy to use and works great, but it fell apart after the 3rd use. The top detached from the base so now when I use it I have to try and hold the top on so it doesn't fall off. I have tried to contact Hanna about this issue two separate times and have received no response.
It works great and I understand you run into issues with products from time to time, but receiving no response from a manufacturer is unacceptable.

GREAT! By Derrick on 7/7/12
Derrick would recommend this product to a friend
Extremely easy to use! Test kit is simple and accurate. I tested it versus my salifert and red sea kit and the test was on the mark I did not need to look at silly color charts. GREAT PRODUCT. Now if only hanna can make it for other parameters and fix their calcium checker.

Fantastic Checker, really acurate and easy to use. The money seams steep, but the acuracy and ease of use make this a great addition to your phosphate fighting arsinal.

worked like a charm By David on 6/26/12
David would recommend this product to a friend
just received the phosphate checker and was skeptical that a colorimeter could be produced for sucha low price. Tested it on three reef tanks and results were zero. Thought the unit was defective, so waited all weekend and tested it on a freshwater planted tank in office. Three minutes later .91 PPM. Like a charm.

The best consumer phosphate tester by far. By NanoCabana on 6/18/12
NanoCabana would recommend this product to a friend
This is an affordable and accurate tester for phosphates. Like many, I was tired of trying to match color shades on a card. With Hanna's digital readout, I have confidence that my weekly test can be compared for trends. I also use this for my planted freshwater tanks and will buy Hanna's iron checker in the near future. Good job Hanna!

Easy and accurate test results makes this worth the price. By Moises on 6/17/12
Moises would recommend this product to a friend
This Test kit is very nice because you get an accurate digital reading. If you are worried about your phosphate levels and want to make sure you have them under control you need this product. For the price of the test kit I feel like it should of came with more reagents to perfom test. As of now it only comes with 5 so you better buy extra refills. Only other complaint I have it the powder reagents is hard to get into the small vile. I would recomend getting this product with your GFO reactor.

Best investment! By Nicholas on 6/1/12

If you are considering running GFO in your tank this is the way to go, This instrument is very precise and accurate. It is much nicer knowing exactly what your PO4 is rather than guessing it is somewhere under .25.

Great BUT.... By BUG on 5/5/12
BUG would recommend this product to a friend
A cheap, flimsy, warped and very difficult to open case greets you when you first try to access this kit! Kind of like having a cheap and dysfunctional door handle on a fancy new car.... I hope this case is not indicative of the quality of the tester inside! Comes with only 5 tests, so be sure to buy more when you order one of these.
Other than the above, seems to work great and consistent and is easy to use once you free it from the cheapy case...

Throw out the color comparisons By thomas on 4/22/12
thomas would recommend this product to a friend
I hate reading color charts. I never feel like i know for sure what the result is and the time involved sucks. I am a zoology major in college and I bring my checks with my to labs and they professors are even impressed. the liguid reagent is slighty more conveinant than the powder but both are easy to use and the results, well who doe not like looking at a number that is plus or minus a few ppm andknowing for sure what the result is

This product is very simple to use. I love the digital display no more guessing. I recommend it to anyone who needs to test for phosphates. I bought dry rock and wanted to test for leaching phosphates and this little tool made it easy.

The instructions were confusing the first time I used it, but as soon as I figured it out it became the easiest test ever. I love the fact that it gives you an actual number. No more matching colors. Love it.

Great product, great price. By Alex on 4/2/12
Alex would recommend this product to a friend
I have nothing but good things to say about the Hanna Phosphate checker. For a while, I was using color chart comparison phosphate kits, which is extremely difficult since the shades of blue are so subtle to compare. Added to that, the lowest value it read to was <.25. For delicate sps tanks, less than .25 is not an accurate enough result. This is why the Hanna checker is so nice. It gives decimal values all the way down to .01, rather than a blanket statement of less than .25. Considering the money we spend on our aquariums, phosphate should be measured accurately to ensure animal health. Considering it's only about double what other kits cost, it's a no brainer! Skip the guesswork, and get this checker! It makes testing to much easier. Don't forget to buy the reagents when you buy the kit!

Much better alternative than the salifert or other kits that rely on colors charts. Much more accurate and consistent.
