1/2 hagen and 1/2 salifert, i think i might switch to all salifert though, there simpler imo

Just tried my Elos test kits I recieved with my last JL order. Seem ok, but never impressed me much. Salifert seems just as good, if not better. Alk. reads the same. Calcium reads almost 3ppm lower than my Salifert. What I did not like on the calcium is the colour switch. It starts changing blue, then back, then blue again, then back, and so on. I dont like the endpoint as much as Salifert.

Fine test kits but unless it impresses me more by the time I reach the end of the kit, I will stay with Salifert. So will reserve judgement until then. :lol:

I like Salifert and API because of their ease of use.

I've only ever used Hagen and Salifert, and the Salifert are better by far. I've not tried the Elos, so based on that I can't vote for them, but they appear to be good.

Oh great. :sad: . Now they are on sale, a few days later.

I'm half half Elos and Salifert but I like the elos they are quite simple to understand and use

Martini test kits are nice...I wouldn't spend that kind of money on them. I have a friend who did, very very nice...but he makes about 550,000 a year more than me :( I guess not technically a "test kit" but kinda ? :)
There is Lamotte...(tried once and friends again) i have heard some good things about...Saw an instant ocean calcium test kit today...never noticed it before. Didn't buy it though.

API isnt an option in there??:razz:

2008? This needs an update... just my opinion, sorry.

I know at work, if anyone comes up with an idea, it's generally that person that gets to do the thing :) So....lol
