| Re: Water testing I'm sure many people here have tried them at some point since many box fish stores carry them. Do you have a question about them?

| Re: Water testing I don't trust mine and some of the newer Red Sea kits that I have seen like to say low/good/high instead of giving actual numbers, which make the kits pretty much useless for someone with a reef tank since we need to know actual numbers. Since you have the kits, use them, but if something seems out of wack, verify that your tests are accurate with another brand of test kit before making radical changes.

| Re: Water testing I have a Red Sea mag test kit as it was all I could get at the time. It is terribly inaccurate. The results show fresh mix saltwater with like 1800 Mg. |
