    At least the colors are fairly different, unlike an API test kit where you are trying to match hues of yellow and green to the closest one. I still need to figure out how to build a digital meter for all those, so I never have to test.

    I start my mag test and let it set for the min while I do the calcium test. By the time I finish the calcium test, the mag is ready to titration. Takes 2 mins to test both

    I don't think it takes too long, I just absolutely hate doing that test because of that part. Especially when I forget what drop I am on.
