Anyone use their products? If so how do you like them?

The calcium checker is coming out fairly soon so I may give it a shot. That and Alk i guess.

I like them overall but I hate that the result is only visible for 10 seconds. Can't tell you how many times I've used up a package of reagent, waited the 2 or 3 minutes for results, got side tracked for a moment and had to repeat all of the steps (and use another package) because the screen shuts off after 10 seconds of displaying the result...

I could see that being annoying for sure. With my reef ADD I get side tracked all the time so I am sure I would miss the readings too.

I have the alk one and it doesn't do the ten second thing. It will stay on the screen for about 5 minutes. I really like it. It's very easy to use and worth it for that alone. I plan on picking up one for phosphates and the calc one a some point.
