    Dont know if yall have heard but earlier this year Hanna came out with and electronic PO4 meter(phosphate), I purchased one and it is awesome at $25.99 plus regants 50 for like $12.00 you cant go wrong and works perfectly. Well the good news is that Hanna is set to release  KH,CAL, and NITRATE electronic meters by the end of July. They just keep making it easier to test out parameters. I cant wait to get mine. I dont know the priceing, the president of Hanna didnt say in his email i recieved. Watch for these to hit the market soon!!!

    Is this going to be a separate unit for each test or is it going to be a single all-in-one unit?

    So, whats your po4 reading with it compared to your standard test kit? I'm sure there's a difference, right?

    the liquid test kits colors are so close its hard to read. Mine liquid color kit showed what seemed to be nothing. When i purchased the Hanna meter it showed .03. Pretty accurate. And its ez u use. The other 3 meter will be all individual. There small and conpact with a neat little case like a refractometer. Here is a link to the PO4 meter: http://www.hannachecker.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=17&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=113&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29

    i hvnt tried there more exspensive meters, but for ease of use and a digital readout of an exact # -vs- a color you have to guess at i'd say its worth the $50. JMO

    I'm going to try and put together a group buy 2 or 3 weeks before the fall swap. That way everyone can pick them up at the swap.
