exactly why I dont like the elos Mg test kit......get a Salifert.....waaaaay easier:wink:

Absolutely :biggrin:

I actually find the ELOS quite easy. With regards to the second test, I don't even do it anymore (well maybe once in a blue moon), as I find that this number never changes. So I do the first test only subtracting what I know what the second test will give. Very simple.

I am going to retest in the next couple of days...as I must have done something wrong...not the first time, nor the last LOL!

Thank you for all the input everyone! :biggrin:

I think I just might!

To res my old thread. Turns out the test kit was quite old...and not like the new ones. OOOPPS my bad. So in the end, the results to his tests were;

Mg 850
ALK 6
Ca 500

so...needless to say we're dosing with Mg to get it back up. Bit of a compliance issue with my friend...but they're trying to remember to dose to get it up there...and he's changed salts which is a step in the right direction!

OH, and I LOVE how easy the ELOS kit is! Just have to make sure to get the co-workers to read the directions properly sometimes...oh and me the first time!
