Additives and test kits

[Reefhawk1]

A general question for all the reefers: What test kits and additives do you recommend for ammonia phosphates, alkalinity, and ph?

Thanks,
Stan

personally i use the hagen master test kit. it is a great test that does it all, from ph to iron.

For test kits, Salifert is suppose to be the best. I've also heard good things about Lamott test kits as well.

For additives, all I use it Kalk for the tank, Selcon for the food.

I use both Salifert and the hagen test kit, I prefer the Salifert for simplicity, but I'm not a fan of their test tubes!

I add garlic from the organic food store, Herb Pharm and its been pretty good to me!

I use the Hagen Master Test kit. Comes with every test kit that fits in a hard brief case... makes you look really smart. :lol: People really go WOW, the hobby is hard hey, after they see all the test kits (little lab) :lol: Also if you run outta one solution you can run out an by individuals.

Also for additives I use Kent calcium liquid, buffer milk, kent Iodine (makes xenia pulse more) and live DT phytoplankton. Then I use Selcon & Garlic Extreme for the food.
