    The api kit is okay.. the calcium is good, but the phosphate test is just crap. Why didn't you just go to the store and buy it, petsmart and petco both have it and you dont have to wait on shipping. :cheesy:

    my petstore and petco only have the redsea, and so does my lfs, but they also have other tests but their more expensive.

    So the guy just got back to me, and he said he will cancel my order and refund me for the refractometer in a few days :D

    Ya the actual refractometer is the same, its the card that is in it that changes. They have them for salt, alcohol and sugar. So the wine one wouldn't work. The funny thing is the actual refractometer doesn't change, just the card or scale they put in it. But the saltwater ones are 10 to 20 bucks more. Gotta love supply and demand.
