Magnesium Test Kits
 
Okay so what is available for Mg Test kits that is accurate and reasonable to use. I've tried the Sea Chem one and it was a long drawn out procedure that almost ended up being slower than making moonshine. So what does everyone use for Mg testing, how accurate is it in your opinion and how long does the test take?

Salifert makes a very easy to use Mg test kit. They are one of the most reputable companys when it comes to test kits so I trust thier accuracy.

I sold my salifert test kit.

AFter 6 years in the hobby and testing at just below 1400 I figure water changes are maintaining Mg adequately. :biggrin:

Salifert here, but I found it a PITA to use for the first while.

I think people (most people) will recommend Salifert over anything with any test kit... Salifert is obviously the way to go... Let's do a big J&L order so we can all stock up on Salifert :razz:
