looks like you pre-purchase 4 sets of tests for ~$25 each, then send them in whenever you want. which sounds perfect for splitting with other people.

Thats great, you could do the monthly deal and that is about the same price as one salifert test kit.
Good find Matt.

thats very interesting, and tempting to try out. at the very least to just try out to see any changes in ion concentrations over the period of a year........the big reason i can see is to reinforce my water changing habits! lol

has anyone seen any links to anyone with experience actually using this yet?

as with any lab, there are growing pains with finding out the most accurate procedures...
