Thanks

My vote is:

Alk - API
Ca - API
Mag - Salifert

I have read a ton of reviews on test kits and I believe API gives you the best bang for the buck.

I agree with David as I use the same. I've been reading and the Elos kits are pretty accurate, but a lot more expensive and I dont think the kits last as long. API are cheap and easy kits though. All kits have their advantage and disadvantages

i agree with dave on those. I also like the tropic marine ALK kit. easy to use and works well.

Does any know if TM has a seperate MG/CA kit yet? If I remember correctly they where an all in one kit when I used them.

Thanks for the info. gentleman. I had thought API wasn't very accurate.

I use api for calcium, salifert for Mg, and the TM for alk. I had another CA test kit, instant ocean i think. it was kind of a pain to use but got the same results as the api.
