Anyone use Tropic Marin test kits?

I need to get a Magnesium test kit, everywhere I have looked seems to be out of the Salifert ones, I saw the Tropic Marin Calcium/Magnesium Test kit on sale and wondered if anyone has used it and how user friendly is it?

Use the calcium, very friendly.

Have compared to Lamotte and the results are real close. I recommend.

I haven't used any Tropic Marin test kits, personally.

The Mg/Ca CombiTest is pretty simple to use. The results I get are bang on w/Salifert.

Just make sure that you do the test w/white in the background as the blue to clear endpoint can be a bit faint to see.
