Re: test kits

Yea, Salifert came out with some bad batches and a recall was ordered, they have everything under control, but it did switch a lot of people, myself included. I use lamotte now for alkalinity and calcium and a Hanna colorimeter for phosphates, thats all I test since my pH is digital and my nitrates are never able to be seen, makes things easy. Elos is another very good test company, people seem to get good results from them.
