    At my age, its more of a state of mind, rather than a skin problem or a hormone problem. lol Luna

    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.

    Thats why we're all here, to help each other out. "Two heads are better than one" is the old saying, but in this case, we have thousands of heads.;D Luna

    Don't think I have ever had any test kit last more then a year.

    But will pay close attention to exp. date next time I have to buy.

    I like the Api Test's...

    Thanks for info.
