    Does anyone know of a package for sale somewhere which has EVERYTHING one needs for saltwater testing in one convenient box?

    I'm sick of the chaos that is the multitude of test kits in my tank cabinet!:angry:

    There's no kits I saw that contain everything, either.

    If you don't mind the Red Sea kits, they all fit into one of the Reef Master boxes once you get rid of the supplement samples they give you with that one (Reef Master? psh. It's got a grand total of 3 tests - Calcium, Nitrate, Phosphate; then they give you like 6 different supplements with those), but you have to buy them separately.

    Most kits dont have every test you want. Red Sea Marine Lab is fairly comprehensive but does not have a test for Phosphate or Magnesium. You can always get those separate. I have those two from Salifert and they work well
