If anyone knows where to get them, please share.

As for now, I use AP for NItri,Nitra,Ammon,PH and Red Sea for CAlcium and a hydrometer for sg

In Living Color in NJ carries that Sera Master Kit, pretty neat!!

Do they have a website, or do they take phone orders, or are you gonna bring one down with the salt for Gina. LOL

I live in Baltimore, but have to work 9am to 930pm that saturday. Damn shame I am gonna miss it, would be cool to meet the members in person. Maybe I will just have to make a trip to NJ.

I have a Seachem test kit and I'm going to switch. I absolutely hate their ammonia test - it has this little indicator disk you drop in the sample, then add a reagent and you read the color of the indicator disk. Yellow is undetectable, blue is ZOMG something died...

The problem I have is that today my disk stayed yellow but there was one tiny green dot on it. There is no polka-dotted place on the color scale. How am I supposed to interpret that? Their other tests are easy to use, just hate the ammonia one.
