This hobby is difficult enough with out the confusion these test kits bring. I find the majority of test kits are very difficult to get a reliable reading. They leave far to much to your interpretation.

I agree.I have little faith in most of the test kits.

...and of course the ELOS Alk kit where the instructions say each drop is 1dkh, when it is actually .5 dkh.

I don't understand why JL stopped selling Salifert and now only sells ELOS. So far, I'm not impressed with the ELOS and their ability to write decent instructions. OA sells the Salifert and they have my test-kit business now.
