Hanna Marine Magnesium Digital Test Kit (HI-783)

Hanna Marine Magnesium Digital Test Kit (HI-783)
Product ID:
781
Price:£99.84





The HI-783 Marine Magnesium Checker provides an accurate way to measure magnesium within saltwater fish tanks. Digital reef water tester provides clear information about the magnesium levels in your marine aquarium, enabling you to make effective changes to your water quality. Conducting regular aquarium magnesium tests is key to having the information to maintain a healthy tank.

The HI-783 Checker is a compact, easy-to-use electronic tester for measuring the level of marine magnesium in saltwater and reef aquariums. This practical checker kit includes everything you need for the accurate measurement of marine magnesium, including reagents and syringes for easy testing out of the box.

The digital HI-783 magnesium tester covers a comprehensive range for magnesium, from 1,000-1,800 ppm in Mg. This checker requires a single AAA battery for operation, which is included in the kit, and features auto-shut-off after 10 minutes of inactivity to save battery life.

Using a checker colorimeter to measure magnesium in your marine fish tank removes the perception element of testing. The results of testing are clearly displayed on a digital screen, providing instant insight into the magnesium levels in your aquarium without the need to retest to determine the accuracy of your results.

How does the HI-783 work?

The HI-783 marine magnesium checker uses an adaptation of the colorimetric EDTA method using calmagite indicator. In this method, the reagent and indicator provided with the magnesium tester create a measurable reaction with the 10 ml saltwater sample. This reaction causes a blue to violet tint in the sample vial, which is then read by the Checker to provide clear digital results in ppm.

The HI-783 includes a starter kit for reagents including reagent for 25 tests, so you can start testing the marine magnesium in your reef tank immediately.

Checkers vs chemical test kits

Chemical testing kits are a popular option for monitoring magnesium within reef fish tanks. However, with corals requiring a specific range of magnesium for successful development, using personal perception to determine the results of testing can be a risk. Hanna Checkers provide an accurate digital measurement of the marine magnesium in your aquarium, enabling you to manage your water condition effectively and provide the resources needed for coral growth.
