Hi guys, looking at upgrading test kit (sick of most of the the api and have shattered almost all my tubes). I was looking at a hanna for KH and the red sea kit for the others. My LFS who i have recently come to trust and has been very helpful to me has recommended this JBL kit, which he says have just recently come back into stock. For about $120 you get tha basic tests, then theres a $200 set which tests

pH, carbonate hardness, calcium, magnesium, copper, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, oxygen

I told him id wait a week till i had enough to get the full kit as it seemed more worth it.
I then went home and did some research on it as i had never heard of jbl kits. What i found were some pretty negative reviews on a forum from 2010, and then a video on youtube of a guy with the kit explaining that some of the tests are unusable for marine testing.

Has anyone got experience with this kit and do you think based on reviews i should avoid it?

Much appreciated [emoji111]
