New Hanna Egg Phosphate checker, anyone using it?
http://************.com/2010/04/20/h...ty/#more-17925
Anyone using this? Is it going to be good for very low levels of po4? I understand there is a -/+.04 tollerance level but isnt that the case with Hannas larger, more expensive units? Its only $40 but I'm wondering if its good and accurate or if it is too new. |

Seems decent.

Reef builders reviewed it and said it matched the more expensive unit quite well. Only drawback was the 10 second readout time limit

I have one and it works good. Much more accurate than matching colors. Direction suck though. The Reef Builders article makes me feel better about how accurate it is. Great price!
