Which test kit for magnesium?

[Scottshopinc]

I've read that api test kits are good enough for testing kh and calcium, but which would be best and easiest for magnesium?

Stay away from Redsea...they are notoriously inaccurate for their Mg test. Salifert is a good one.

I realize my previous post may have sounded to slam all Redsea tests...I meant just the Mg is know to be inaccurate, I wasn't implying that about Cal and Alk. I bought their kit that have all three and still use the Cal and Alk. Actually, it was handy buying that because I use the 3rd bottle for the Salifert kit now, which makes dripping and swirling much easier with the Redsea holder that attaches to the top of the bottle.

salifert has always been easy and reliable ......

I use Elos for all.
