Right on from being too high by Then Reviewer

Comments: When I first received this test kit, it registered about 50-70 ppm too high. I returned it for a replacement kit, and it also measured 50-70 too high. Disappointed, I did not use it for a few months. Now, for some reason, the kit is accurate. No reason why, I am using the same reference kits and the same refernce samples as before, and they are consistent. For the past 1 + year that I have been doing this, I used Salifert, SeaChem, and Elos kits. There are pros and cons to each of them, and at one point I would have crowned each of them the best. But, as time goes on and I have used these kits in general I like the Salifert line the best. They are the eaiest for me to use, an are accurate enough for my needs. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Very easy to use test kit. Has a nice, easily identified color change at the titration end point. The only reason it does not rate 5 stars is that it comes in a flimsy, thin cardboard box that gets beat up badly with time. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This year, the CA test kits are terrible. I bought one in the spring that was reading everything to be over 500, and one last week (8 months later) that did the same thing. I have a 10 gallon tank with nothing in it but 2 rocks and the same water for 4 months, tested in at 500, all 4 of my tanks are now 500 according to this kit, so is the freshly made saltwater too. For 4 years I've used these kits and right now, I wouldn't take one for free. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good, but: by IVAN MOSKOWITZ

Comments: It is a decent Ca test kit; however, I keep having the same problem with multiple kits I have purchased. The # 2 agent bottle dropper does not work well. It sometimes dispenses only a partial drop while other times it will dispense multiple drops. Often I must repeat the test starting from scratch which at this price is a big waste. For a top of the line test kit, this is unacceptable. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: The Salifert calcium test kit doesn't last very long - that is, it appears to read correctly when first used, but over time (over a months after being opened), its readings will be off by 25-50ppm or more. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Calc test kit by JohnnyEviL

Comments: Very good kit. Easy to determine where your calcuim levels are. No color matching needed. When your calcuim level is reached an instant color change will occur, could not be easier! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
