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.

How do you like your hanna colorimeter? I was thinking about purchasing one soon as my Elos KH ran out.

Default 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.
