Why not go hanna colorimeters/checkers? We really like ours the ease of use and the accuracy and it is the cost of a elos test kit.

FYI
I am having issues with the Salifert Mg test kit, the readings are a lot higher compared to Elos. Actually are a lot of other people are having the same issues as you can see by the post on RC http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1986944
I'm waiting for a response to this matter from the Canadian wholesaler of Salifert. In regards to Elos I hate counting the drops. Quote:

I am not sure I agree with the others about how ELOS is inaccurate... During my time of SPS issues, I had taken water samples to my LFS, as I thought maybe my kits or refract are out of whack. My LFS uses Salifert and API, and when they tested, the results were accurate to what I got using exclusively ELOS.
In saying this, I use ELOS without any complaints... I have also just tried API and Salifert for some things, and they seem fine also.
