Red Sea Magnesium Pro test kit

When we're talking about $5 or $10 it just matters what else you're doing with your time and money. Ordering other stuff online anyway? Shipping is already a given. Spending your day off checking out LFS? Gas money is already a given.

Exactly.

I completely agree.. thats the rule I use...but i'm still too cheap to buy a $45 test kit

I really like the Red Sea tests though I have concerns about the accuracy of the mag test. It told me it was around 1600PPM which is HIGHLY unlikely. My Seachem mag test show it around 1300PPM which is more like it. I've only used ot once though so I may have done something wrong. I'll try again because I love the calc test and the titrator alone is worth the price of the kit.

oh I just saw that there are refills for the test kits for around $15 each. Now that makes it a lot more appealing.
You buy the $30/$44 kit first and then after that just get the refills. Nice!

I am getting some! I had enough points on my credit card to get some free stuff from Amazon so I chose the basic reef kit (Ca, Mg, Alk) and the algae kit (Nitrate and Phosphate). Can't wait to try them out!

I got it! It's nice. I got the foundation kit meaning it's all three in one box. That's a bit of a problem because I can't get it to all fit back into the one box lol
Other than that I agree: it's very nice.

One thing that freaked me out: I was so dazzled by the beautiful test kits that I also bought a bottled supplement: Nitrate and Phosphate reducer.
I enthusiastically dosed it to my main tank and didn't notice until AFTER I poured it in that it smelled like nailpolish remover. I usually hesitate to pour acetone into my tank so this caused me some panic...
