It's to bad petland isn't interested in marine stuff. Although I've always found petland to be a bit on the pricey side, but if they were into salt it would provide more consumer choice and competition among LFS's.

I don't think you'd find a test kit at petland for marine anyway. Unless you have a FW tank you might be out of luck.

I found a salt water master liquid test kit at petland. It was $45 bucks. It tests for PH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. My credit was for $40 so that worked out just fine for me.

Thanks for the replies

You might also want to consider a Calcium and Carbonate (kH) test kit. Salifert and Elos are both VERY good brands.

I think Seatest test kits are probably one of the best, it's what I use, and it maybe even better than salfiert, because seatest test kits are a joint venture between AS and Hach if I remember correctly.

My only experience is Hagen and Salifert. Can't say if one is more accurate than the other, just found had more problems trying to match the colours off the cards with Hagen, Salifert easier for my eyes.
