One of the best on the market
| Comments |
Salifert's test is one of the best on the market. Very accurate results under normal resolution testing; does offer "Low resolution" testing, which is basically half the normal dosing reagents but IMO you will sacrifice accuracy. Expect 50 tests, not 100.
|
| Liked about it |
Popular test that is carried at many LFS, accurate readings under normal resolution and long shelf life
|
| Didn't like |
The single drop/swirl procedure from the syringe can be a bit tedious, a couple of the reagents are a little difficult to measure

Easy to use kit 
| Comments |
This is my favorite calcium test kit of the ones I have used. It is a nice clear color change which is important. Plus its easy to do and the directions are clear and easy to follow, once you do it a few times you will be able to do it in your sleep. No tedious counting of drops or any of that, you just read the value on the syringe when the color changes and go to the chart for you reading. Plus it gives you readings in 10 ppm increments which is a lot better than some that only give you 50 ppm increments.

You get a good amount of tests per test kit. You can even half the reagents and water and multiply your answer 2x and get double the tests. No counting of drops, you just read the value on the syringe and get a reading from the chart it comes with.
|
| Didn't like |
You have to be careful with the syringe or the numbers can wear off before the kit runs out.

Great
| General |
Remember that when you are filling the 1ml syringe that there will be a gas bubble the volume of the tip when you fill it. So the solution inside the syringe may only be full up to the .65ml mark. |

Easy to see the titration occur.

A must have for the serious reefer
| General |
Like all Saliferts tests this one is a little tedious but well worth the effort. They are a little more expensive than some other kits so I use the saliferts monthly and other cheaper tests for the weekly testing.
One issues I have had with all Saliferts tests is the metering syringe. If you fill it then empty it over and over you actually fill to a different line. As long as you use moderate speed while pulling back on the syringe it is consistant.
All in all a great test and well worth the time and money
I must have for all serious reefers! |
| Liked about it |
Extermely accurate
easy to read results
Close increments for the actual readings
|
| Didn't like |
Like all saliferts they are a little tedious.
The lines on the syringe seem to wear off before the kit is exhausted.
It's hard to tell when the spoon is full/level or how much you actually have when adding the powders
I would like to see a laminated mini reference card for the readings.

Accurate and reliable
| General |
Salifert test kits are one of the most reliable and trusted brand of test kits currently available. |
| Liked about it |
I've been using Salifert test kits for years and they are one of the few brands of test kits that I trust to provide accurate results every time.
|
| Didn't like |
They are higher cost than other brands, but that is the price you pay for having an accurate test kit.

Acuate but a little complicated
| General |
Its a good test kit, yes it cost a little more then the other test kits out there but it give you results and you are getting a quality product. They provide you with everything you need to measure the chemicals which is a plus. So if you have expensive corals break down spend a little more and get a better kit. |
| Liked about it |
Acuate test kit. Provides you with everything you need to test your water.
|
| Didn't like |
It is a little compicated and sightly on the expensive side.
