anyone use SERA test kits?

[klm2500hd]

what's your opnion of these?

local store carries them and price is decent, anyone have experience with consistency and accuracy?

tried the phospate test and I get a reading of .25 where API and seachem show 0.

I tried Sera salt and it was very inconsistent. After my tank was tossed into whack and several hundred dollars spent in water changes to TMRP I never even considered spending my money on Sera's expensive test kit's.
I will stick with Salifert kits. I am thinking of trying Elos though...

I have used the Alk it was ok, count the drops, I have a Ca kit and it reads higher then my API and I know my system and trust the API.

Thanks Witt

Billy is one of my best buddies and I have him on a role on kits and salt mixes testing on our RC chem forum. He will be doing more on these. This was his first one, so it is kinda watered-down. I'm trying to get him to expand more in his articles.
