Hagen Master Test Kit - going beyond the basics

[Pseudoreality]

So over the Christmas break I bought myself a new toy, the Hagen Master Test Kit for $100 CDN.

In addition to the pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and sometime GH/KH that AP people normally test for, this kit also does iron, phosphate, and calcium. It kind of reminds me of the chemistry kit I had when I was a kid in my childish excitement in playing with it. I read over all the procedures last night, but have yet to test anything out. Everything is growing great for me right now so I don't feel like I need to test if I have a nutrient deficiency, but it's cool to know that I can.

No if only I can get my work to buy me a DO meter I'd be set. Personally, and professionally I guess, I find the water chemistry aspect of aquaponics the most interesting part.

Hi PR,

I'm not familiar with the Hagen test kit......so I'll be interested to see how you feel about it when you've begun to use it.

Interesting yes........but for real satisfaction, you can't beat sitting down to a meal of what you've grown yourself and that's where it is for me.
