Again...missing the point entirely. I'm not reading a mega thread as I'm not in the market for new tests and I've already used just about all of those in that thread anyway and have decided on what I prefer...but unless the thread has a way to increase the resolution of the API test kit, it's accuracy and consistency don't matter if it only measures in 1 dkh increments. It's no faster to use than a Hanna checker so it isn't saving any time either.

Again folks. Even if it's accurate, it is too low of resolution. That is my only gripe. But it's a big one. Enough of one to not own them. It's my same complaint with their nitrate and phosphate test kits as well. If you don't give AF about resolution and are fine testing in large ranges and don't care about precision stability, then they're great, easily accessible, and inexpensive.
