Test Kit?

Turbo, I also see that seachem has a reef kit, is this a good and accurate kit to have as well or is there a better option out there.

 

+1
whats up with that kit anyway? Looks alot more complicated than the ph test that I have.. just put water, 5 drops of stuff and shake. This one has like little dishes and you have to stir it up and add this and that.. does that make it better? or are the results easier to read?

 

Its pretty easy to read once you get used to it, but yes, it is accurate. Of course, the salifert test kits are really easy to read and to do the tests, but expensive. I have had success with Seachem. I recomend it.

 

i got the complete hagen one (nutrifin) comes in a little blue carry case ..

it tests ca , ph, k , no2 , no3 , low ph (fw), fe , p04 , gh (fw) , nh3

 

dang, I lost track of this thread.. doesnt this board give the option to view any replys to thread you have posted on??

Turbo, I didnt get the kit you recommended because I found the Hagen kit which a friend swears by. He has a 260gal that is blooming so I couldnt say no lol sorry.

mattgeezer, my Hagen Master test kit will be here Fri. I dont know what all those elements stand for either though

 

Mario, Where are u getting it from and how much does it cost?

 

ordered it on ebay. heres the link. eBay: Hagen Master Test Kit Test 10 Parameters New in Case!!! (item 250089579715 end time Mar-10-07 17:35:49 PST)
same guy, same price. decent shipping. This was the cheapest I could find anywhere as it seems it usually runs twice this amount or more

 

Thanks, can u post and let me know how accurate the test are and if your satisfied with it once u get it in?

 

I bought that test when i first started out (+ 10 years ago). Let me just say that i really hope for you that they got better cause it was crap back then. I had readings of zero for several things but my tank was getting worse so i brought a water sample to my LFS to get it tested and let me tell you, my test was way off.

I had a lot of test results compared to tests done in a real lab (my aunt is the lab director at Molson brewery) so i can tell you salifert is the best bang for your buck.

Marc.

 

ill post review when i get it
