Description
The HI783-25 is a 25-pack of replacement reagents for the Hanna Instruments Marine Magnesium Checker HC (HI783). Each packet is pre-measured and ready to use, eliminating the need to weigh or mix chemicals before testing. The reagents follow the colorimetric EDTA method with a calmagite indicator, producing a blue-to-violet color shift that the Checker reads as a magnesium concentration in ppm. Designed for saltwater samples in the 1,000–1,800 ppm range, they are suitable for reef aquariums where magnesium stability is critical. Lot numbers and expiration dates are printed on each packet for traceability and quality assurance.

The HI783-25 reagent pack is a direct replacement consumable for the Hanna Marine Magnesium Checker HC (HI783), one of the more practical colorimetric tools for tracking magnesium levels in a reef system. Each box contains 25 pre-measured packets, enough for 25 discrete tests without any weighing, pipetting, or reagent preparation on the user's end.

The chemistry behind these reagents relies on the colorimetric EDTA method using a calmagite indicator. When a reagent packet is added to a seawater sample, magnesium in the water reacts with the indicator to shift the sample color from blue toward violet. The HI783 photometer reads that color change and converts it to a ppm concentration, removing the subjectivity involved in visual color-card comparisons.

The reagents are manufactured under controlled conditions using high-purity chemicals, and each packet is individually marked with a lot number and expiration date. This makes it straightforward to confirm reagent validity before a test and to trace any anomalous results back to a specific production batch.

These reagents are formulated for saltwater use across a measurement range of 1,000 to 1,800 ppm magnesium — the range that covers normal reef aquarium parameters. They are only compatible with the HI783 Checker HC and are not interchangeable with reagents for other Hanna models. Keeping a spare box on hand ensures testing is never interrupted when a batch runs out.
