Salifert aquarium water test kits are the epitome of accuracy and precision. Their wide range of available tests have all been designed to detect the smallest traces of certain elements, without interference from other chemicals within the water. Simply put, these are the best test kits you can buy- hands down. The sharp, contrasting color changes make results easy to read so there's no second guessing. Trust your aquarium to Salifert. Detects small changes in carbonate hardness which can affect pH and the growth of both fish and coral. Salifert Magnesium Profi-Test Magnesium is present in natural sea water in a fairly high concentration (1350 - 1500 mg/L) and is an essential element of chlorophyll which is necessary for photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis plants, algae and coral would not be able to survive. Magnesium also helps to maintain the correct combination of calcium concentration and alkalinity as it slows down the formation of calcium carbonate which can absorb many important trace elements within the aquarium. Maintaining a correct magnesium concentration is therefore very important and is indirectly responsible for fast coral and calcareous algae growth by making it possible to maintain correct calcium and alkalinity figures. Magnesium is depleted by algae growth and also by the use of excessive kalkwasser or by going far beyond natural calcium, alkalinity and pH values. The Salifert Magnesium Profi-Test is easy to use and accurate with measurements in steps of 30 mg/L. Results are not affected by strontium and calcium interference. Can be used for marine water only. Calcium and strontium will not interfere when their total concentration is between 200 and 650 ppm. This is mostly the case. Up to 50 tests.Warning!Keep out of reach of children. Not for consumption.

Listing is for 3 Salifert tests - only 1 arrives! RIP OFF!!!
RIP OFF ALERT!!!!Can't give 0 stars so have to give 1.This listing is for 3 Salifert tests - Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium. Only 1 test - Alkalinity arrives - and of course this item isn't available for returns/refunds.RIP OFF!!!
Salifert offers the most accurate and consistent results compared to other test kits. I was using some other, more expensive checkers that everyone swears are the pinnacle of testing, but the reagent went bad and I almost killed my Acropora due to the inaccurate results. I can trust Salifert, it's not the cheapest or the most expensive, but it is the best.
Tried them all over the years and Salifert is one of the few I can trust box after box. Very close to my ICP tests and in our hobby, very close is close enough!
I recieved this and the magnesium test does not work. No matter what type of water i test it reads the same thing. Not eligible for return so now im out money and stuck with something that doesnt work. Beware
I like the ease of use, I feel like it's fun to test my water, I was previously using API reef master test kit, I should of just got this instead, these are a big upgrade, I feel more secure with accuracy of the results.
My monthly maintenance company recommended these products based on accuracy. This is the product he uses for his customer. I personally found the product easy to use. I defer to the experts in their comments about the product's accuracy.
