Re: Still Cycling?????

Sorry guys I didn't mean to bash the test strips.I used them in the past.Moisture,fingers can throw off the readings and I couldn't figure if the color match this or that.Yeah there super convenient but inaccurate,IMO.I learned this years later in those trade magazines and other websites/forums.When one of my test kits run out I gonna try the Salifert,all the forums say they are the best.Don't know if that true or not...we'll see.

I know you weren't bashing on em Reef. It would be a good idea to compare em to what the reading the LFS gives ya though. They can be rather tough to read sometimes and many times i've settled with a reading inbetween the colors.
