WORKS GREAT IN MARINE HABITATS!
OK, it's MADE specifically for Marine Habitats!
Alkalinity is one of the most important parameters to measure in salt water aquaria. It helps maintain a stable pH, an important factor for most aquatic life.
In seawater, bicarbonate is by far the largest contributor to alkalinity. Alkalinity is measured instead of bicarbonate levels, which are otherwise quite difficult to determine. Bicarbonate is a critical element, as corals must have a ready supply of carbonate and bicarbonate to form their skeletons. Without an adequate level of alkalinity, therefore, healthy coral growth is not possible. The alkalinity of natural seawater is typically 125 ppm CaCO
3 equivalents (7 dKH). The generally accepted alkalinity range in marine aquaria is 125 – 200 ppm CaCO3 equivalents (7 - 11 dKH). Some corals may benefit from even higher alkalinity levels; however, at high alkalinity, calcium will precipitate out as calcium carbonate, an undesirable outcome.
The HANNA HI 755 Checker®HC bridges the gap between simple chemical test kits and professionalinstrumentation. Chemical test kits are not very accurate and only give 5 to 10 points resolution while professional instrumentation can cost hundreds of dollars and can be time consuming to calibrate and maintain. The HANNA HI 755 Checker®HC is accurate and affordable.
This Checker®HC features an accuracy of ±5% of reading ±5 ppm and uses the colorimetric method.
The contoured style of this Checker®HC fits in your palm and pocket perfectly and the large LCD is easy to read. The auto shut-off feature assures the battery life will not be drained if you forget to turn it off. The HI 755 Checker®HC is extremely simple to use. After zeroing the instrument with your water sample, add the reagent to the cuvette and shake. Then insert the cuvette into the HI 755 Checker®HC and start the timer. Invert the cuvette when prompted and press the button to read the results. It’s that easy.
