I must have missed something.

I too had a bad Mag kit from Salifert about a year ago, but the new ones are spot on.

I threw my Seachem Mag kit in the trash.

If you want to believe the numbers, thats ok with me. I found the kit extremely difficult to get consistent results and very cumbersome. And the reference solution is bunk IMO.

It's bad enough mag is difficult to test for in the first place as there is a lot of test noise in all hobby grade magnesium test kits.

I haven't found a hobby grade mag kit yet to match Saliferts in accuracy and ease of use.

I have not tried any Elos kits yet, but plan on doing some testing with them soon.
