Most aquariums with a salt water section should have them (or at the very least be able to order them in for you).

Failing that, there are a number of online vendors that will deliver straight to you.

Hope that helps.

i'm a big fan of the Hannah checkers. convenient, accurate, and very fast to use.

for anyone reading this post, I'm an idiot. In Australia, the Alk test is called Kh (Hardness). Not only did I already have the test, I was using it daily having no idea what it measured. Gosh!!!
