Has anyone tried this or heard of people that have tried it? This might be right up my alley because for the life of me I can't read the alk and other test kits- tried a bunch but I guess I'm too colorblind. :( So I thought this could be my answer but I'd like to get some info on user experienced before taking the plunge.

I have one. The #'s are off compared to API/Salifert tests. On RC there's a big thread on the Hanna board. Hanna recommends to shake the vial for 2.5 minutes. I dunno bout you but that's a long time to shake a vial. Also, they have different regeant lot #'s that produce different readings. I'd stick to your current alk test for now.
 
I'll check out the RC thread.
As far as my current test kit, it's a look in the tank and see if corals look good. :) . I do ask my friends to tell me when the color changes, but I consistently get low #s, ~7 dKh, and I dose 2 part so I'm not 100% sold on the test kit readings because it seems no matter what I do to change alk, it's always around the same level. :~
