			 Is anyone here using Seachem's new Mg/Alkalinity test kits ("Reef Status" or some such) for testing alkalinity? 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			The new ones come with a little handle on the box so you can tell if you're using the new style or the old style. My old test kit (2 years old) was awesome. But I think that the new one, is completely unusable, and I want my money back. This is rediculous. How can you tell when the colour changes from "perfectly clear" to "perfectly clear"? What a joke. I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this, or if maybe I have a bad test kit. PS. Can somebody recommend a good test kit? What's the other one that a lot of people use? Seatest or something. How is that one? Maybe in the meantime, I'll stick to Hagen... can't beat the price (comparatively anyways!)

			 Salifert. Easy to use, you won't be unhappy with it.

	More expensive for the kits themselves but you get alot of uses so average cost is good.  |
