I was under the impression that this is a good kit, with very accurate and consistent results. I'm currently in conversation with a fellow reefer, on another board, who says that not only is the kit of poor quality, but he gets skewed readings between 3 different API Ca test kits. His own, his buddy's and the LFS's. Personally, I think he is experiencing some sort of user error.
I love this kit, and find it very consistent, accurate, and user friendly. I currently have 3 kits here at the house, and all of them reed the same. Needless to say I am a little dumbfounded by this gentleman's opinions and experiences with the API Ca kit. Maybe I'm alone, and this kit really is of poor quality?
Please post your experiences with the API Ca kit, good or bad.
Also, if anyone has a link to the comprehensive study of all the major test kit manufacturers that was completed by a group of reefers from RC that would be great. I used to have it bookmarked but a PC crash erased it and I haven't been able to find it since
