i didn't want to give up on salifert
but i got one of the bad alk kits from them, which was replaced by habib. and i also got a bad mag kit from them that i didn't even put the effort into getting replaced. I verified that my mag kit was bad too by having two local stores test against it and testing against it with my seachem reefstatus kit. I really liked the ease of use of salifert and I hope they get everything figured out, just seems like lately there has been some quality issues.
