    hi,
    I realized that my nutrafin KH test kit was off by 1 degre. :mad: so I put it in the garbage cause I do not need test kit that lie to me like that.

    My new Nutrafin Ca test kit is not bad but I hate to use it. one drop of the last reagent = 20 mg/l of Calsium. so if I have 400 mg/l of Calsium, I have to put 20 drop to know it.
    1 drop, shake, compare. 1 drop, shake, compare. 1 drop, shake, compare. 1 drop, shake, compare.1 drop, shake, compare. 1 drop, shake, compare. :mad: there is no way I am gonna use this on a regular basis. it takes to mutch time to do that test.

    What test kit do you use?

    I have used both of those and feel your pain. If you know your Ca is going to be near say 400 ppm or what ever, just add in like 10 or 15 drops to get you close then go to the one drop sake. Saves a little time.

    I like SeaChem and Salifert tests.

    Good luck.
