API has a master reef kit with Ca, Alk, Phosphate, and Nitrate. You'll have to get a seperate kit for Mag - I used the Red Sea Mag kit. _________  | |

I would only trust Elos and Salifert test kits IMO, and neither one has a "master kit". Just like most anything else in life, the cheaper you go the worse the quality is. I use Elos only, but I don't think Salifert is bad either. Hope I could help out in some small way! _________ 55 gallon slowly growing reef aquarium, 85 lbs. live rock, 2 1/2" sandbed, 1 False Percula Clown, 1 Sixline Wrasse, Tetratec PF500 filter, 2 110 watt URI Super Actinic VHO actinics, 2 250 watt metal halides with Reef Optix 2 reflectors powered by Blue Wave 3 ballast, born 1/3/08 My Tank Thread My Tank Video  | |
