    I also just ordered:
    Seachem Salt Mixes 160 gallon Reef Salt
    Red Sea Reef Colors Pro Multi Test Kit
    and other odds and ends.

    I hope to add a little more color to my corals.

    Specific colors in corlas require different elements, this kit helps detect the three main elements to help promote more colorful corals.

    I found it for 48.99 @ Sears of all places, everywhere else its 65.99

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I would actually like to test my potassium.

    Let me know how you like it.

    I just had an acrylic acclimation box built for my setup which will hold new fish in it while the other get use to them before I release hem into the main tank. The dimensions were 20"x12"x12" and it cost me a little over $100.

    Will do, I'm really curious what my levels are at. I switched to ReefCrystals and their website mentions nothing about Potassium so I switched back to Seachem Reef Salt.


    Was this local or online? Sounds like a pretty nice deal.

    Potassium tests can have a lot of noise in them from what I understand. I'm looking forward to seeing your results and if they are consistent from test to test.

    Iv heard that, a lot of reviews say great things about the test kits (Except Iron). It can take a while to test for each trace element but if I can get a "ballpark" range it's better than nothing.

    I'll post results ASAP, I'm more curious about ReefCrystals vs Seachem. I'll surely feel stupid for switching over to RC if there's zero potassium ect...
