why no salifert option?

I use API for ammonia
salifert for nitrate, cal. and mag.
hanna for phosphate and alk.

Salifert and a Hanna checker here. I tried Red Sea Pro and had good results (the results matched very closely to Salifert with equal resolution) but I am so used to the Salifert after years of using them that I switched back.

I was just thinking of posting a poll like this last night so I know which ones to tell my gf to get me for Christmas. Looks like you beat me to it. Thanks!

Salifert.

If you want your thread closed, use the red triangle under your user name. Click it then explain why you want it closed or deleted. One of the mods may take care of it for you.
