Comments: Great test kit. Performed three consecutive tests and all results were within 3ppm for calcium and 5ppm magnesium. Very accurate and reliable. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: The instructions are pretty clear but the color change is very subtle and I have yet to see the MG part of the test work they way the instructions indicate. I've tried it three times over two months (3 on my tank, 1 on newly mixed water). I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Really hard to use by Kitty

Comments: The kit has three liquid solutions and one powder. Also, four separate syringes. It's very hard to use - color goes from baby blue to clear and is very hard to distinguish. I still can't get the magnesium test to work at all. Wish I hadn't bought this . . . . I would not recommend this product to my friends.

New Mg testing kit by MAHMOUD NASSER

Comments: I like the kit, it seems to be better quality, they use glass tubes instead of plastic which makes it easier to interpret color changes. I used the Salifert Magnesium and calcium testing kits before and I have to admit that it is easier to note the change in color from pink to colorless in Salifert than from blue to colorless in the tropic Martin kit. I also did the tests with both kits and I found that the Tropic Marin kit gave consistently and significantly higher calcium and magnesium readings than the Salifert counterpart, so I am really struggling which one to believe now. I would appreciate any further input on this issue Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
