yup I have heard that the pet store you mentioned sucks from more than one person, I live in the area but have personally never been there.
I don't mind the other red sea test kits, they are OK, but if I were to pick my fav company for test kits it would be salfert
As for the red sea mag test kit
I havn't used any of the other test kits for mag, I have only used the red sea mag test kit, and I hate it.
the **** kit doesn't go above 1280 so your out of luck if your mag is higher, not to mention that they give you a confusing piece of paper that is supposed to explain the extra plastic tip that they give you for the sarynge. Its just too **** confusing, I rairly use it, because it is such a pain in the A.
