Salifert is preferred by most people here.

Salifert or Seachem IMO and alot of other experienced reefers also. are two of the best. more accurate and easily read. REEF-ON!!!

I would stay away from the Seachem Calcium test kit. The powder in the kit gets rock hard and nearly impossible to use. I have experienced this myself and read where others have also.
I do like the Salifert kits and redsea. |
