Will not read Phosphate below 0.08!! not useful for reef tanks By paul on 4/26/13

Will not read Phosphate below 0.08!! Not useful for reef tanks.
There are a lot of threads on Reef Central that will back that up. I can't say how much pain I've been through over this.

Nice Test Kit By James on 11/28/12
James would recommend this product to a friend
This is a nicely packaged test kit. I purchased these as a comparison test kit for my Elos and I was looking for something a little different with regards to the color comparison aspects of the test. The tests are easily comparable with regards to steps. The color wheel is nice and provides a holder to hold the vials. The only complaint I have is my colors never seem to match. Leaving you somewhat guessing, is it above this color or below this color, or this one? Even watching the PO4 video's posted by Red Sea on how to perform the test ended up in a between color. Which for someone that's a little OCD'ish on my params leaves me wondering.
Overall though a good solid built kit.

Great Set of Necessary Test Kits By Jason on 11/18/12
Jason would recommend this product to a friend
I purchased the Red Sea Algae Control Multi Test Kit to replace my Salifert test kits.
Overall, I am very pleased with these new kits. The color wheels make it very easy to get accurate readings.
And only needing to purchase refills makes this line of test kits more economical.

Best Test Kits By Mike on 10/22/12
Mike would recommend this product to a friend
I love these Red Sea Test kits. They are very well made. They were put together knowing our fingers would get wet, we would drop them. The made sure those are not issues. Strong plastic, great clear glass, and easy to read charts. Well worth the money!

Easy to use, accurate results By Alex on 10/5/12
Alex would recommend this product to a friend
After using API for years I was convinced that they were good enough for hobbyists. That is until I got into serious reef keeping and my corals weren't looking their best. I found out my levels were not even close to what API had tested, to begin with API was hard to read. The color wheel makes color comparison a breeze and RedSea have made this test super accurate. RedSea also has fantastic customer support!

This test kit is great. It is so easy to use. All is coated so wet fingers don't ruin it like other kits. Excellent High Range ability as well if your parameters are high. Very solid product all around and super easy to use, its not splitting hairs like some other kits to see a difference in colors.

Easy to use but still struggle to match colors By paul on 7/20/12
paul would recommend this product to a friend
This test is easy to use but I still struggle to match colors. I recently did 3 PO4 tests of my tank, the output of my GFO reactor, and my RO/DI water. They all gave different colors but I had to guess that they all matched the same color chip 0.08. I really don’t think that was the correct result as my RO/DI unit is new and reading zero TDS and my GFO reactor had new media and was flowing very slowly.

The Wheel Makes it Easy! By Milkman on 11/14/11
Milkman would recommend this product to a friend
Based on my good experience with the Foundation multi-kit, I bought the Algae control nitrate and phosphate tests. I had been using the Hanna Checker for phosphate and API for nitrate. The color wheel makes these test extremely easy compared to a color card. Viewing the color in the control sample through the same tank water as the test sample eliminates any distortion with interpretation of the results.

Awesome! Easy to Read! By AC2020x on 10/8/11
AC2020x would recommend this product to a friend
I love the ease of reading and determining what your values are once you get your final results... The kit seems to be very accurate in telling you what your parameters are and you can determine the difference between say .08 and .16. The precision in this test kit is unmatched compared to some of the other tests I have used and it comforts me knowing what my parameters are. If just looking for a general areas of what they are.. many other tests may work.. but I believe this one is very accurate and well worth the money!
Very satisfied... thanks a ton!

This color wheel was so easy to read that my 3 year old child said "'Daddy thats the color right here" and she was right. Thanks to BRS and RedSea my daughter is becoming quite the little marine biologist ( like her aunt).
