I had some instant ocean Alk test kits that had expired, sent them back and got some with the same exp. date. After fianally getting new one I noticed the exp date has been removed from the bottle and packaging... Go figure! | |

Hey luna, I know this is an old thread but thanks for the info as I have switched to api from salifert because of the bad batch of alk kits that they didn't wanna deal with. Several of us kept contacting salifert and never got an answer. I find the api kits way easier to use and accurate enough for me.
