I was way off, guessed 80! That test is really something else, don't think I'd call it a great product.

That trick for reading the color chart is genius, I'm kicking myself for not figuring it out sooner. I actually spoke to a Hanna sales rep a while back, and they mentioned a new freshwater nitrate checker was in the works - digital, but more in line with their other checkers, not the pricey one we've been discussing. They said it'd be out within a year, but that was months ago and I haven't seen anything yet. I've been on hold with my tanks, but you might want to reach out to Hanna and see if they've got an update on the timeline.

I've always been skeptical about the high nitrate hype. It's just a marketing ploy to sell products. 'High nitrates? No problem, just buy our nitrate-absorbing gizmo.' I've heard it all before - from the 'pond guru' claiming his fancy lava rocks will magically eliminate nitrates to the overpriced matrix solutions. But let's be real, nitrates aren't the issue unless you never change your water. The real problem is shocking your fish with sudden water changes. Gradual changes are key. I've found that a simple sponge filter provides the perfect surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow, making nitrates a non-issue.
