    The Aquarium Pharm test was only about $11 and seems to be pretty accurate...hopefully! I need to find another test to compare it with, but with the bad Salifert kits floating around out there, I'm not sure what else to use.

    Perhaps the seachem, but there is a bad batch of Salifert Ca tests floating around out there. Until I can figure out some way to identify those kits, I'm staying away. That stuff isn't cheap!

    If I were you, I would take a sample and have it tested before making a decision to spend more money on kits. Just my opinion.
