Hanna has just announced 2 new Marine Checkers for testing marine aquarium water. The new Checkers (electronic water testing devices) are designed to test for Magnesium and Ammonia.

Both Checkers are map priced at $59.95 and we expect the see the Magnesium Checker become as widely used like the Alkalinity, Phosphate, Nitrate and Calcium checkers.
