Elos vs Tropic Marin

DevilBoy · #1 12/15/2007, 04:58 PM

I have been using Salifert test kits, ever since they have been have major issues with the test kits i have decided to change brands. I have narrowed it down to Elos or Tropic Marin.

Has anyone had any experince with either of these brands? Do they seem to be accurate? any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Thumbs up for Elos here.

Wish they could be more affordable though.

I'm switching too - likely to Elos. Have you seen this? http://www.mbenassireef.com/?cat=17

The reading found on that link makes me upset that my cabinet is full of salifert kits. I was under the impression these were the one of the best on market, not just best for the price. However, these findings prove it to be more than inconsistent. I will be switching to Elos or TM. Anyone have any recommendations where to purchase Elos kits?

I want to buy some Elos test kits to but I can't find any online.

Salifert kits are not as much as people say though. If you do the math (tests/kit), they're not bad. I'm more disappointed in their recent hiccups than I am with price.
