  1. I have used Salifert for years also. I now have the Elos mg kit. I tried the Elos calcium kit' date=' but hated it. I know Tim at Westside uses API kits for all his parameters. His stuff always looks good. What I don't like about the Elos kits is that it is hard for me to see the color change, especially on the KH kit. I use the Tropic Marin KH kit right now.[/quote']

     

    That reminds me. I need to check out Tim's store since it's so close to my house. I'll ask his views on the API's

  2. Which test kits is everyone using?

     

    3 years ago when I started out I got Salifert but had a lot of trouble with the Salifert KH test kit. The kit would read a much higher KH level than was actually in the tank and I subsequently lost a few corals. I then switched to API and Elos which both seem to be pretty good. I prefer the Elos kits but they are pretty expensive. My Elos test kits are about to run out and I'm thinking about using API exclusively simply because they are a lot cheaper. What do you think of the API kits? And also, has anyone tried the new Hanna digital Phosphate tester? Looks pretty good for the money.

  3. I'm talking about Rod's food :)

     

    So far I've tried Upscales, Rosecity ( who even have a Rods food sticker on their fridge door, but no longer carry it), Soutas, Seahorse aquariums, and Salt water fantaseas. No luck with any of them. I used to buy it from Waves. :(
