With that regard I agree. I've seen big differences between the Red Sea and Hanna results. I never paid it much attention because both readings were within recommended parameters.

I only use the Red Sea for magnesium now since the Hanna are much simpler and faster.

Maybe there is an explanation out there for why they vary so much.
