Overview
The Hach FF-1A Freshwater Aquaculture Test Kit utilizes drop count titration and color disc methods to deliver fast, accurate results for fish production. Maintaining good water quality is essential for profitable fish production. In many cases, the availability and cost of "crop" insurance is directly related to testing programs. This kit utilizes drop count titration and color disc methods to deliver the fast, accurate results you need.

Titration Methods

    • Alkalinity (0–100, 0–400 mg/L CaCO3)
    • Carbon dioxide (0–100 mg/L CO2)
    • Chloride (0–150, 0–600 mg/L Cl–)
    • Dissolved oxygen (0–4, 0–20 mg/L O2)
    • Hardness, total (0–342 mg/L CaCO3)

Color Disk Methods

    • Ammonia (0–3.0 NH3–N)
    • Nitrite (0–0.4 mg/L NO2–N)
    • pH (4–10 pH units) Observation Method
    • Supersaturation: (Qualitative)

Includes seventeen reagents, one measuring tube, one color comparator box, one BOD bottle, one mixing bottle, one dropper, two plastic tubes, three color discs, one thermometer, instructions, and a carrying case.

Questions & Answers
Do you offer a reagent refill kit?
We do not offer a refill kit, however, refill reagents are available individually under the Accessories tab.
What are the 9 basic water quality parameters that can be measured by this kit?
The Hach Freshwater Aquaculture test kit measures for ammonia, nitrite, pH, temperature, alkalinity, carbon dioxide, chloride, dissolved oxygen and hardness.
When testing for Ammonia, my sample has a slight yellow color. Is my sample contaminated?
No, the Nessler reagent gives even pure water a slight yellow color. This small color is negligible unless measuring a small amount of Ammonia. When measuring a small amount, add 3 drops of reagent to 5mL of ammonia-free water to use instead of the untreated sample in the left top opening.
When testing for carbon dioxide, what is the ratio between carbon dioxide and Sodium Hydroxide drops?
Each drop of Sodium Hydroxide Standard Solution is equivalent to 5mg/L of Carbon Dioxide.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs

Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question. [caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

Monitoring Lake Erie’s Eastern Basin: Building Long-Term Data and Real-Time Public Solutions

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit. [caption id="attachment_38976" align="aligncenter" width="940"] The Dunkirk Buoy viewed from the research vessel after being deployed in early spring.

SonTek CastAway-CTD Meter Review

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
