firsttest with the kh kit the test tube broke spilling everywhere, the contradictory instructions and I can't seem to get consistant test results out of the mg kit I got 1200,1150,1300 ppm all back to back in a span of 10 min I'm just glad I didn't buy the entire elos line like I was going to..

Mine say's 1 drop = 1dKH when you have 2.5ml of water in the vial, or 1 drop = 0.5 dKH when you have 5ML in the vial, did you double check that? Their instructions seem pretty vague at best compared to others, but the test results i get from my Ca, Mg and dKH seem to be pretty accurate from test to test (i was double and triple testing in the beginning to make sure my results were correct). The kits do seem to be very expensive though imo.
